Hey!
I haven't been on here for a while! Since then I have got used to my meth... kind of... and I have gone part time at work and I am feeling a bit more relaxed and I am slowly coming to terms with my RA (as much as you can)

I have recently (the last 3 weeks) gone up to 22.5 mg of Meth a week. I have noticed my hair is coming out quicker and quicker. My reummy has upped my folic acid to 3 tablets a week but it doesn't seem to be slowing down... A good friend has suggested sea kelp... which I am giving a go.

But the thing I was really wondering about it peoples appetite.... I have been told and read that meth can reduce your appetite but this has seemed to have happened rapidly and when my o/h encourages me to eat it doesn't feel comfortable even after eating just half a normal amount. This is unusual for me, I love food and cooking.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? :?

    I don’t think meth has ever reduced my appetite, Lozz, but, it might be worth asking about a stomach protector if you’re not already taking one. Please don’t let your weight drop too much without seeking advice.
