and group;

 

I am sure you asked your doctor why am I getting  weaker.  During an illness we

tend to lose weight.  Your doctor should know you are losing weight.  This can

cause a longer healing time for your body. 

 

Not me since I am overweight I tend to gain more weight while healing.  Unless

of course it is a stomach problem.  I did lose a lot of weight when I had a

stomach problem and kept throwing up. 

 

I know you ask your doctor if you should continue your meds.  If not it's never

to late to ask,  you can call your doctor and a nurse should be avalable for

questions. 

 

I am so glad you told us this is not a life threatening disorder. I am so very

sorry your having such a hard time.  I hope you get better soon.  Please keep us

updated on your condition. 

 

gentle hugs

Clora

I am recovering from having a large cyst on my liver.....I' ve had a tube

draining fluids into a bag and take alcohol treatment through the tube to shrink

up the cyst......I keep loosing weight and am getting weaker....but I've kept

taking my MTX and Plaquenel... ....are these RA meds keeping me from healing

from this liver situation?   I've been told that tests are normal and I don't

have anything life threatening. ....why am I getting weaker?
