Can fibromyalgia cause weight loss?
#1
Fibromyalgia can impact weight in different ways for different individuals. While some people with fibromyalgia may experience weight loss, others may experience weight gain.

In some cases, fibromyalgia can cause weight loss due to loss of appetite, difficulty eating, or trouble digesting food. The pain, fatigue, and stress associated with fibromyalgia can also make physical activity difficult, leading to a decrease in metabolism and weight loss.

On the other hand, some people with fibromyalgia may experience weight gain due to decreased physical activity, poor dietary choices, and the use of certain medications that can lead to weight gain as a side effect.

If you're concerned about changes in your weight due to fibromyalgia, it's best to consult with a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. They can help determine the cause of any changes in weight and recommend lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, or medications as needed.
