Have you had any other illnesse since having schizophrenia?

After schizophrenia appeared in your life, did you start to get sick more and your body weakened?

I have a very strong cough that lasts for years. I had a ganglion and some shaking in the hand.

It was actually before I develop schizophrenia, but I also have PTSD. It has mellowed a lot with time and meditation

Diabetes, obesity, hyper-tension and high cholesterol.
Probably from the meds.

Gained weight (13 kg), low on vitamin D and Ferritin (Eisen). Otherwise healthy. Not having much colds since the diagnosis, quite the opposite.

Diabetes and high cholesterol. Although it’s possible that I could of have had high cholesterol prior to sz. I didn’t really go to the doctor when I was younger.

Same here and some other health issues from meds and overdosing on pain relievers in September 2015 right before I got diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia and psychosis later that month.

Gained 165lb since sz and now I take low dose meds for blood pressure and high cholesterol. I didn’t need these meds when I was on Abilify though as I was 100lb less than now on 6mg Risperdal.

Tendon inflammation, maybe lacking in some nutrients and low red blood cell count.

No, i’ve been fine. I haven’t had a cold or flu since 2019. I very rarely get physically sick.

Plus gaining weight.

I have tons of physical issues, which sucks.
