I was a little bit, late developer, always had irregular long menstrual cycles. Never thought much about it. Lost more weight (under 100), got diagnosed w/an autoimune disease which later turned out to be fibromyalgia. Was put on dexamethesone and gained 30 lbs in 9 months. Then slowly put on weight stablized around 135, until 4 years ago when the doc put me on dhea for the fibro, I gained another 30 in 9 months. I went to a high of 156 a few months ago. Have started met and am down a few pounds, not enough to tell whether this normal fluctuation yet. 156 might not seem like a lot to some of you, but I'm barely 5'2 and small framed. Size 3 to Size 14.
