Guest guest Posted October 25, 1998 Report Share Posted October 25, 1998 Dear Friends: Is anyone having weight loss?? 2 years ago I had 60 lbs of weight gain from an ankle break. Now, the only good thing I can say about contracting Lyme disease is that I've lost 15 lbs. since I got sick in August! It seems to have stabilized now that I am on I.V. though.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 1998 Report Share Posted October 26, 1998 Hi Lovette, You are one of the few who are fortunate enough to lose weight with Lyme disease, most of us gain weight. I am sure you would much rather be healthy than thin, all of us would. There has been discussion on this list about the thyroid function being attacked by the Lyme bacteria...I believe that can happen. In my own case, I go through stages of being ravenous, and then switch to not wanting anything to eat all all. Go figure? Marta >From: " F. Mott " <smott@...> >Is anyone having weight loss?? 2 years ago I had 60 lbs >of weight gain from an ankle break.

I also used to eat breakfast oatmeal apple cinnamon flavored...but now that i realize i am IR...so the added sugar is a no-no...just makes me crave more food so when I do have it..unflavored oatmeal for me i avoid breakfast till i eat lunch.....lunch is my breakfast,,,,dinner is my lunch and i eat a late dinner.. most people would say eating at night is very wrong...but 28 pounds off tells me it is the right thing for my body ..i get up at 6 am and go to sleep around 10 pm and have found i am truly fine with this weird style of eating...but is is spread out over the day....if I knew I would be somewhere 11-12 noon where I could not eat..I make sure to eat something earlier....but until 12 or so all i have is 1 cup of 1% or fat free milk in my coffee....b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wondered why I could stomach feta cheese (after forgetting to take my lactaid prior to having it, and then after realizing, tried an experiment and could STILL stomach it) and then when Holly posted that it was made from goat's milk, it got my curiosity aroused and makes me wonder what exactly the difference between goat's milk and cow's milk.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2001 Report Share Posted January 25, 2001 Ama Im not really sure about that, since I was diagnosed with the thyroid long before I had any children and Aih after I had had them. Maybe your doc. can answer those questions. Sorry I couldnt help with this.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Hi Jen.. You see my doctors think that Steohepatitis is what caused my Cirrohsis.. That is fatty liver.. Also I have AIH.. So he is thinking if I lose the weight then maybe that will stop from getting more fat built up in my liver.. I don't actually think it will slow down the progression.. But the extra fat will just speed it up.. Am I making since?? I go to a Hepatologist in a Major Hospital in Peoria, IL March 27th..So he'll be able to tell me more.. Hope this has cleared some stuff up.. Believe me, I'm just as confused as you are.. lol Hugs, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Deb and Jen.... The treatment for Fatty Liver is to lose weight.. that`s how it is treated. Any type of liver disease is treated by slowing it`s progression by eliminating it`s cause. Fatty liver is caused by being over weight, People who have alcoholic liver disease are treated by stopping drinking and so on..... there is no other treatment for cirrhosis. Please read the page I sent before on Fatty liver .I will send it again. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Jen, be very, very certain you're understanding correctly about having "some weight on your body to build bone density." I believe there are methods that are probably safer and more effective to deal with bone density. Harper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Ok... thanks I remember now that when they first thought I had fatty liver they mentioned weight loss. That was years prior to my diagnosis. Now with cirrhosis its not anything my doc is concerned about. Actually with the intake of prednisone he (gastro doc) would prefer I have some weight on my body to help build some bone density (if that makes sense). Thanks a bunch. P.S. thanks for the INFO JERRY on Fatty liver and cirrhosis. Jen On Wed, 28 Feb 2001 17:02:07 EST, wrote: > Hi Jen.. You see my doctors think that Steohepatitis is what caused my > Cirrohsis..
