Lipoatrophy just starting legs

[Guest guest]

Hi-

I been HIV+ for 22+++ years. My T-Cell count 1259 & no viral load at

this time.I have a conussion and was in bed for a while some lost

there.

I noticed start of Lipoatrophy in my legs I work our & eat fine, it

seem to come and go.

Started meds 8 years and just switched from Trizivr to

EPZICOM and ISENTRESS good move? {ideas}

Is there anything anyone knows that I can do or take to work on some of

the lost of fat? In my legs at this time?

Thanks

JT,

If it's only in your legs, it's doubtful that it's HIV/drug related lipo. In my lengthly experience I have never encountered it being specific to any body part. Are you doing cardio? This will predispose you to working your red fibers (the endurance ones) so that you may lose bulk/mass. If you are doing cardio and resistance for your legs, you should not be doing them on the same days as they cancel eachother out.

Stay well,
