Ha ha I was searching ‘enbrel weight gain’ and this came up - my own thread lol 
Perhaps it’s just me and nothing to do with the meds. As an update on this thread, I have gained weight in recent weeks but that could well be the lockdown. I didn’t really exercise much, especially at the start as there were always too many other people about especially joggers who are quite happy to fog the air all around themselves with their huffy breathing.
Now I’m not so worried about going out so I’m walking more like I used to but I do think the council has been secretly adjusting the gradient of the hill going home as I get so puffed out! They have grand plans for getting everyone on bikes which I find amusing because it’s too hilly for me and probably quite a few others to realistically get about that way, even if I was able to stand the pain of sitting on a bike saddle (the arthritis in the region of my tailbone/ si joint makes it really unpleasant.
Plan is to return to stretches and exercises that I used to do regularly.
