Weight Loss + RA

Hey everyone, I'm curious!

How many of you experienced weight loss in a short amount of time when you found effective biologics?

I've lost about 10lbs in 2 weeks (about 2 weeks after starting Enbrel). I saw my rheum today and let her know I'm super concerned about it (hell, I told my whole care team because I didn't connect it to RA), and she said she thinks it's because we're finally reining in the inflammation.

All experiences, biologics, and other med combos welcome! I'm just curious.

As always, I want to mention I have POTS, MCAS, EDS, and CCI. So I have a lot of overlapping symptoms and complex things.

P.S. I also just started Xolair today for MCAS. If anyone's on Xolair, I'd be real curious too!
