Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can gain weight? I have Polymyalgia and I am
having a terrible time trying to get some weight back on my bones. My skin
so thin all I have to do is bump it and I pull the skin right off. I'm on
prednisone and also Coumadin...I have it checked every week but the
prednisone keeps the blood thinning jumping around.IT was fine yesterday,
but I bumped my leg on the retaining wall and I peeled the skin right off
and bleed, bleed, and bleed..

Any suggestion for food that is healthy, and yet put weight on? Thanks a
lot...Nel

Food that tastes good is healthy:

It is the amount of food that matters for putting weight on.

Simply weigh your meals and make sure you eat about 2 lbs per day and
you will regain back to your optimal weight.

There are things you can eat that will help you gain more weight.
Milkshakes, ice cream, whole milk (instead of low-fat), regular soda
(instead of diet), put butter on your veggies. There are others.

I would ask your rheumatologist for a consult with a nutritionist.

Thanks guys,
I do eat and eat and eat just to hold the weight I have. I don't think I
should eat just anything. I just read sugar was bad for Polymyalgia, also
caffeine and nicotine. Sugar is the only one thing I do. I don't do the
others. I'll cut back on the sugar and, hope I don't loss weight.

And I think you are right Jeff, I should see nutritionist. I've always eaten
so well that it's hard for me to go to all the dairy products. I am drinking
Ensure with bananas and milk in it.
If it wasn't for my Afib. I would try some of the herb suggestions too.
Some things I'll have to ask my cardiologist about. One article mentioned
Vit. A-B6- C and I don't know what they mean by Cholesterol.
Thanks so much again, if you think of anything else let me know.....Nel

Whatever foods increase your healthy appetite should be fine.
