My wife had covid early on. Within a month of the pandemic shutting things down. She was extremely sick but did not end up in the hospital even though I begged her to go. She seemed to recover. Then things started going wrong a few months later. Severe swelling, joint pain, brain fog, blood clots in lungs and EXTREME WEIGHT GAIN! I have known my wife for over 30 yrs. I have watched her go up and down but this weight gain is unnatural and excessive. Just the last week she weighed in at 9lbs heavier than the week before and that was the weight taken by the doctors office not just my wife at home. Verified 9lbs in one week! She has gained a total of 70lbs since covid. She doesn’t and cannot eat enough to gain that kind of weight. And she is physically active for more than ten hours a day at work. Physical labor. Her latest appt had a 90lb Doctor telling her that she’s 50 now so weight gain is normal and that she should eat more salad and see a nutritionist and a dietitian. That is insulting. And it’s become a theme. She is already a bigger person. Not excessively but she’s not a thin petite woman at her best. But all people who know her can see just how unnatural this is. We don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lose her and she is falling into depression and is giving up.
