Side effect - weight gain! Calling chronic illness sufferers
I rattled with meds for my nasty chronic illness. Every single one had weight gain as a side effect, so I'm proud that I only put on 20kg in the last 12 months.

Prednisolone and motivation
In May I was diagnosed with a crappy autoimmune disease and put on 60mg of pred. After putting the entire contents of the fridge between 2 slices of bread, I flipped out when I got on the scales to find i'd put on half a stone in about 2 weeks. Since then i've been on a low carb diet and have lost 25lb. I am now on 20mg of…
