Hi Kylee

I'm not sure if it's linked or not but I gained quite a lot of weight when I began enbrel. However, I also moved out of the family home and in with my boyfriend who is an amazing cook. Because I had so much energy my appetite increased and so I ate more, although I was also doing more. After 8 years on enbrel I stopped taking it when I fell pregnant. I've never successfully lost significant weight while taking enbrel. I was 14 1/2 stones when I fell pregnant. I suffered with terrible heartburn from week 10 of pregnancy until the baby was born and have been having treatment for cancer so these may be the greater factors rather than enbrel but I am now 12 1/2 stone so I've lost 2 stone in total.

Like I say, I don't know if that's from stopping enbrel or the other stuff going on but thought it was worth mentioning.

Best regards
