Unexplained Weight Loss - 2022 I weighed 148 lbs. - 2025 I weigh 123 lbs.
I am 6 feet 1 inches tall. My BMI is approximately 16.25.
< I wouldn't assume that the weight loss is associated with the lung>
Trust me, I am not assuming that my weight loss is due to my lung MAC infection.
I have told my Infectious Disease Specialist treating for MAC such and she agrees.
She is hoping that towards the end of my 3 antibiotics MAC treatment that I will regain my lost weight.
She ordered a Lymphocyte AG/Mitogen Profile blood test.
Email per Infectious Disease Specialistbased upon the above test results. 'Yes there are some low values on your test that could indicate immune deficiency. Please make a follow up with an immunologist to discuss test in more detail, but it could explain recurrent thrush and yeast infections.'
She had referred a Immunologist.
The Immunologist is unsure as to whether my 9 months on 3 antibiotics MAC treatment is effective.
The Immunologist has ordered T Cell Fx - Complete (Labcorp Only) and T Cell Fx-Complete blood tests.
She has referred me to a Hematologist / Oncologist.
2024 Hematologist / Oncologist's Notes
Plan: Weight loss. This seems to have been an issue over the last 10+ years. Since my last visit with him here, his weight is actually fairly stable. He does appear to have some element of malabsorption but it does not seem to be cancer related in anyway. He has been to multiple specialists.
I have had my TSH bloods tests a number of times by different doctors and they have always been within range.
Dietician - 'We discussed my diet diary. She told me I was eating enough calories and I don't have malnutrition. She said primarily treats diabetics and that she had never had a patient with my unexplained weight loss given I have a good appetite not a lack of appetite.
etc..........
My medical workup is so extensive that it would take Fictional Dr. Gregory House to solve my case.
I am not being facetious.
I am considering creating an entirely new discussion regarding my unexplained weight loss case.
my first idea in your case would have been to consult a GI-specialist
gastro-intestinal
they do these endoscopies, barium-swallow X-ray, CTs,
enzymes-treatment,
