I am 5 ft 6 in and 112. There is a higher incidence of this disease in women with low BMI. This does not make sense to me. How can there possibly be a cause-and-effect relationship going on? I have bronch and so-far-untreated mycobacterium abscessus and notice my appetite fluctuates frequently,

Our bodies are using up the calories to fight the infection.
My primary doctor convinced me to start antibiotics.
My blood pressure is low.
Lost so much weight.
No muscle.
I was blaming it on the statin I've been taking for over 10 years.
I'm trying antibiotics for 3 months.
