Some Pdocs brush off complaints of weight gain .. I assume that they are just trying to get you stable and dont really consider the issues that are going that rear up if you pile on weight . weight gain is not a healthy option as it can lead to other issues ,, heart diease , diabetes .. causing self esteem issues etc .
Good Luck , hope you get good results  |
My pdoc has a scale right out in the open in her office. I wasn't asked to get on it (and I already keep track on my own), but I'm assuming that it's for monitoring people's weight to make sure they're not gaining too much from meds. I've read about others' pdocs doing this. I take it to mean that some of them actually take weight gain seriously!
