Re: General Question to the group about Symptoms

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I just went in for an upper GI last week & another test today due to weight

loss. I did have a chest scan & there was nothing on that but I have been having

some stomach problems. Anyway thus far they have found nothing. My RA took me

off MTX a couple weeks ago thinking that may be part of the cause of the weight

loss. I know some people have had trouble with weight gain which I also did when

on the prednisone but I've been off of that for a while now. I've lost like 18

pounds in 3 months & I didn't have any room to lose any. I do have to say that

my apetite isn't the greatest but it hasn't changed enough to explain that

amount of lossI just wonder if in some cases people lose instead of gain.

Take Care,

Chris

For some, myself included, massive weight loss is a symtom of Stills. I hope

his lung issues turn out not to be cancer. Best of luck,
