yeah, i’ve seen numerous doctors about the weight stuff, and they all just run bloods, say that everything is ‘within the normal range although maybe a bit off whats expected but not terribly’, go ‘hmmm’, and send me to a dietician, who looks at my diet and seems a bit stumped, then they suggest i get more exercise, which i do try and do, but when it brings you out in itchy hives and the sniffles (i know, cholinergic urticaria is weird- but its real), and you’re already wiped out, thats a bit tricky. so they suggest antihistamines (which i’m already using)… and then they suggest the antihistamines might be causing the tiredness and weightgain, and round and round it goes. honestly, i’ve given up bugging them cos they start to label you a hypocondriac after a bit and then you’re entirely doomed to never be taken seriously again. 
thats a logical way of looking at the medication stuff. i get the same calm feeling from codeine, which is probably why i like it. i’ll definately attempt to remember to let you know, i have an appointment in a couple of weeks.
