Sheren Tang Gains Weight from Medication Side Effects

Sheren Tang (鄧萃雯) has always been a workaholic and placed her work and career as her priority. Due to her demanding work schedule, Sheren reportedly suffered from immense stress, leading to a string of medical ailments. Previously diagnosed with depression, Sheren also suffered from an autoimmune disorder and lymphatic issues.

The accumulation of illnesses not only took a toll on her mental health, but has also caused Sheren’s body to swell with fluid. The 48-year-old actress finally began letting go of work and diverted her focus primarily on maintaining her health. After filming Mainland drama, Cosmetology High <美人製造>, Sheren has been on a six-month vacation to concentrate on her wellness and recovery.

A close friend revealed, “Sheren is not young anymore. Her friends have encouraged her to take a break and not push herself too hard. The doctor also advised that her illnesses are due to stress, so she needs to learn to relax. She finally gave in to the doctor’s recommendations. Even if she were to film in the future, she will still find time to go on vacation, do some volunteer work, go to church, and try to reduce her work-related stress.”

Earlier, Sheren was spotted out on a date with a bespectacled, heavy weight man. Although seemingly in a much happier mood eating and shopping on her date, Sheren appeared bloated.

The insider further revealed that due to her lymphatic and autoimmune issues, Sheren is on medication long-term. Although she is currently undergoing continuous treatment, the side effects of medication use caused her to suffer from edema, which is causing the swelling. The insider further added, “After the treatment and with regular exercise, her swelling will slowly decrease.”

  1. Oh no…so much so that I like her, I hate to say this …she’s totally unrecognizable!! What has gone wrong the the medications she used?! I hope she will recover soon and shed those ugly pounds!!

    1. That doesn’t look like weight gain, more like bloating or swelling. She is a great actress n I wish her best of health first. Once healthy, any pounds gain can easily be shed if determined enough.

    2. I am currently suffering from a autoimmune disease myself…gained 15kg due to swelling n medication. Only solution to autoimmune diseases are steroids first up.. Steroids make u gain heaps of weight! So yeah I know how it feels why people be so negative? When it happens to you you will know how it feels.. So Christine as well I know how it feels n it does play on your psychology! But once healthy any extra weight can be lost. So head up Sheren..I myself on road to recovery 🙂

  2. Can the media be any kinder? It is said she’s also depress, and yet they go out of their ways to point out her ‘bloats’, which is not helping those with depression. Have a heart and focus on the positive. The media and the internet trolls are cruel.

    1. This article sounds familiar. Did they replace Christine Kuo with Sheren Tang? 🙂

      1. No , this sheren tang.

        I wish the media would stop targeting those who are vulnerably ill just to write up a gossip article. It’s sickening.

  3. saw the weibo post yesterday she looks so skinny, didn’t even look like the above pic.

  4. She was pretty back then and even in her 40s, I still find her beautiful but the picture above is so NO. She looks chubby and is gaining more weight.

  5. Unfortunately more women have thyroid problems than men.

  6. I don’t get everybody’s response. I think she looks beautiful there. Certainly, I do not want to see her to be stick thin.

  7. I am also on meds for life. Sadly I have gained at least 40 lbs uncontrollably so I totally understand what Sheren and Christine is going through

    1. Mumzie me too! I gained 15 kilos from steroids! My autoimmune disease just came when I was 27 years old I was fully depressed…now I am almost 30.. So heads up Christine n Sheren 🙂

  8. give her a break. being pencil thin because of work is stressful. when one is happy, he/she will put on weight.

    1. I don’t think it is stress. It looks like water retention and bloating due to a overworked immune system. My feet used to resemble a pick’s foot last year when I was very very stressed. But since some lifestyle changes, it has all gotten back to normal.

      I hope Sheren feels better soon.

  9. Wish her a speedy recovery, at her age she should slow down her filming and get more rest
