Dear Patient,

The response to treatment varies amongst patients- some heal and recover soon, for others its more challenging to recover. You could discuss lifestyle changes wih your rheumatologist that may help you recover.
We recommend you meet a medical specialist for your weight gain. If the weight gain is due to decreased movement, you will have to discuss with your doctor abt possible physical activities. There may be other reasons like hormonal fluctuations causing your weight gain.
