Hey,
I am sorry for your lupus…
Weight gain is very common in lupus patient… weight gain is a side effect of those medications you are taking, but do not think of stop taking those pills because of weight gain- lupus is more dangerous than weight gain. I guess, the only solution is proper dieting- less bread, more fruit and vegetables.

I know the feeling, I also have lupus and from a size 6 I jumped to a size 12. Just by itself the disease is a horrible thing to have and then in top of it become fat...
I'm just start a healthy diet so I hope I can lose some weight.
