Hi Emma, Firstly welcome to the forum mate

Do you know that you can be reffered by your doctor, to go to SW and that way you wouldn't have to pay

I'd deffinately let him know that you are going along to it, even if he didn't refer you. Sorry I have no advice about how poorly you are

but I'm sure someone on here will have some advice for you.
Good luck

Hello! I'm also from South Wales! Welcome to the forum! You'll find loads of support and advice on here! I agree with the post above emphasise the weight gain to your dr, they can refer you to weight loss clubs as well as the gym

Hi Emma

My Sis has this too. She was put on meds, and slowly but surely, the weight dropped off her. She's only 5ft 1", and weighed over 12st. She's now a tiny little thing!
Due to the meds, she has more energy, so is able to go to the gym, go jogging, etc., all things which she couldn't have done before.

Did you find your hair thinned out too? My Sis's did, but that's now grown back lovely and thick since she has been on the right dose.

Not much advice I'm afraid, but thought I'd let you know that the meds should help you to lose the weight too, once you're on the right dosage.

Please keep us informed!

Awww, I really hope you start to feel better soon, it's not nice at all

When did your GP up your dose? Once it's right, you will feel so much better xxx

I know how you feel, I'm on meds and spoke to a Nurse at my GP's. She is happy for me to do this, but wanted me to see a Doc any way, but I know I'm okay to do this so I started today, and will see my GP on Thursday. It's just a formality to be honest in my case.

You'll know if it's too much for you, and I don't need to tell you to get straight to your GP if you think it's necessary. Your health comes first before anything else my lovely, so watch out for any signs you may be pushing yourself too far too soon.

Really am wishing you luck, and hoping you do well! The meds WILL kick in when you've been given the right dose. Then you'll find it much easier to lose weight - it fell off my Sis when her dose was right xxx
