@johnwburns. It does take a long time. I pray that we can change that for our children & grand children. I pray your send wife has found the right treatments now. As far as handling it. Some days not so well. But good people like you and others here on connect remind me, I am not alone. Thank you for your comments and support. 🙂 much appreciated!!
They noted a combination. Loss of appetite, even with Ensure, etc., loss of fluid intake (as fast as I took it in, Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 3 eliminated it. Also, my last CBC showed a low glucose reading. Glucose is necessary for proteins and minerals to bind too in doing their job in your body.

My weight loss secondary to dumping syndrome. I have had severe vomiting of stomach bile for about 6 months. I was admitted to the hospital in April for 9 days severe abdominal pain and blood pressure of 200/140’s. Rough month. But better now. Add Cholestyramine 30min before meals. Haven’t thrown up in 2 months.
That’s the most important thing I learned as a member of the Employer Committee of The President’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities one year after the A.D.A. was signed into law. We taught large and small companies, as well as people what could and couldn’t be done or said relative to a disabled persons rights. I met with numerous disabled people each year at the national convention “to learn the problems they faced with their disability and those of us who got over the hump learned from others.” Minnesota’s State Disability Council and Minneapolis Disability Councils that I was on during that period of time also added to my understanding.

ifthere is no cure, as I faced with the condition of Tuberous Sclerosis;
then I would assume your best choice would be similar to what I chose.
Seek to enjoy the Quality of life within the area of not aggravating your
condition.

Lisa, go onto Google. Then type Minnesota State Disability Council–that should take you to their website where you can contact, ask questions, inquire and may even be able to chat on matter. You can go to their connect part to ask about how to get more information or even get onto their mailing list. Another item you could use is Senior Linkage Line at 1-800-333-2433 if you type their website before calling, it can prepare you to see what area’s they may cover. Try those two items first.

Did the doctors state the loss of weight was due to your medications
