    Welcome! When you say SLE, do you mean lupus?
  • Jem,

    Yes Lupus it is. I am on all kinds of med and lets just say feeling pleasantly plump! lol

    A woman I used to work with had lupus and she struggled with the same thing - side effects of the meds, including weight gain. She felt hopeless about it. Eventually, she stopped eating healthy and exercising and she felt even worse. I love your positive attitude. Nutrient-dense food and exercise are soooo good for you. I have gotten off of 2 blood pressure meds and my c-pap since I've lost weight (45 lbs so far - more to go). I know your health is going to improve too! :)
