Anyone else experience stiff and weak muscles while on the medications

I have had muscle wasting due to (Big 3 mac treatment) weight loss which doesn't help the stamina needed to maintain strength and physical activity. Like you, I'm not as steady on my feet. Maybe this isn't your issue, but weight loss was a topic at my last ID Doctor appt, as BMI is under 19. Doc said to concentrate eating high density, high caloric food, as much as you can. Hoping to gain some muscle back eventually. I normally do two walks a day to try to maintain my strength, each walk only about a mile.

@ursala7 I’m in a similar situation as you. My weight loss/muscle loss started right after finishing the big three. I try to stay moderately active to avoid further muscle loss and help my lungs along with eating small meals and snacks throughout the day. I’ve done various workups but the only advice I’ve gotten from my drs is to add protein shakes or ensure. I did watch the zoom from Michelle McDonald discussing protein supplement which was very beneficial but am wondering about the correlation between the big 3 and post treatment muscle loss.
