I'm a little confused about weight loss. Is the weight loss typically caused by the disease or from the meds decreasing a person's appetite? Just wondering. Jan

Well Jan here is my take on weight loss. That is how I basically was diagnosed. I dropped 18% of my weight just like Katherine wrote once about herself. I am fortunate to have a doctor in the family who was very concerned about that plus I had no appetite and had all I could do to make it through the day with my lovely first graders. He sent me for a CT scan and the rest is history! So for me the weight loss came before meds. Irene
