I'm not sure if bl is the right site for this but so far, I've received better feedback and advice from the beautiful people here than anywhere else so here goes.
I am a 30yr old F. I have multiple sclerosis and I suffer loads of pain from it. I also have depression, anxiety and daily panic attacks. I have been prescribed countless medications for all these things and about 2-3 years ago I started getting side effects to almost every prescription my doctor's have tried with me. Most of these perceptions have caused severe nausea. Due to the side effects my doctor will change my prescription and the cycle continues. Because of the repeated side effect of nausea, I've spent a lot of the past few years with fluctuating eating habits. Long before any of my problems started I was pretty healthy. I've always had a great metabolism which I used to love because I could eat more than anyone I knew, M or F, and never gain a pound. I was confident about my physical appearance. My golden number for weight was a solid 125lbs. I have lost so much weight since then that I've grown to hate looking in the mirror. Everytime I have a doctor's appointment, they check my weight and it's probably one of the most dreaded moments in my life. I'm not sure what I'm down to now because I try not to look at the number on the scale when they weigh me but I know it's probably down to 100 if not even lower now. I don't know if the 25lb difference sounds like a lot to you guys but it's very visibly noticable. It is so hard for me to put weight on and it's causing a dramatic increase in my depression and anxiety and I'm experiencing a level of insecurity like I never thought I would.
I could use any advice/ideas of food types or diet that can help me put on weight fast so that I can bounce back from these medication induced nausea and loss of appetite. I've never been too fond of sweets so binging out on cupcakes wouldn't be a feasible plan for me. Other than that I'm not picky with food at all. I hope this post is ok for bl. I figured it was caused by drugs so it's kinda relevant. Thanks again guys
