Ed, do meds mess your metabolism? When I saw my endo. last time she was really concerned about my weight. I told her that I don't eat much and she responded I that I am eating enough to be fat (that really hurt) I know that restricting can my metabolism to slow down ... but what about meds? I guess it could also be the Nozinan that I use to help me sleep.
I appreciate your help. xxx
