Guest guest Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hi Gang, I'm embarassed to bring up this topic when so many of you are struggling to lose weight. I have the opposite problem...the pounds are dropping off. I'm 5'11 " amd before IBF my normal weight was between 180 - 190. I'm now at 150....twenty pounds down since November. Scans and blood work have ruled out bad stuff like cancer, etc. Don't have the appetite I used to have, so I'm eating smaller meals more often supplemented with Ensure. I attend a fibrosis support group at Hospital in Naperville, Illinois. The leader suggesed Megace, a prescription used by those with anorexia, aids, etc. She said it stimulates the appetite but my pulmonologist says the side effect of blood clots is too danegrous. I'm wondering if anyone in this group has this problem and if they've any suggestions. Peace, Ted, 78, IL, IPF/UIP March 09P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
