Weight Gain Help Please
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

I am so tired of the weight gain in very specific regions of my body. I have the large extended belly the buffalo hump, growing breasts and large neck. I have been eating healthy, avoiding all sweets, sodas, junk food but nothing helps. Is there anyone out there that can lead me in the right direction to loose the fat in these areas.?

I’m new to ART; just started in Dec 18. But have gained 30 lbs in the belly. Only diet and exercise will help it.

There was a point...i was not even recognizable !..as a hairdresser as you know.... looking like you have AIDS doesn't work ....so I lost all my clientele ....after my face returned then I had to start all over ...but now because of other side effects I can only work part-time... so you see the medication both saved my life and destroyed my life !...it's Ying Yang !...you have good things and you have bad things... you to decide which is more important and go for it!😳😳😳 and you can't let fear be your guide or your God ...no more than medication can be your God!....This is my Story and its true......every word guy!😔😔😔😪😬😲🤓🤓

I am in the same boat. My neck is a huge problem and hurts to sleep. My meds are supposed to make me have a productive life, but I have weight gain massive, diabetes, pain all over, bone loss, and many other issues over the meds.
