Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I was on Megace in the early 90s for waisting. It works because all you do is eat, eat, eat, and the rest of the time you think about eating. I accumulated fat though, and not muscle. I kinda looked unusual because of the way this fat was distributed. (On me the extra weight showed up only around stomach, so I looked like a skinny guy with a huge gut, much like I had been drinking beer for all my life lol) It also caused some other bad side effects, and one is it takes away any sex drive you might have. I'm glad to report that since my post "HIV waisting" appeared, I've gained 7 lbs!!! I increased calorie intake for breakfast and lunch. I think yesterday I took in close to 4000 calories. Starting Monday I'm going to go back to gym to put it in better packaging lol. Also, having not smoked in 7 weeks helps the appetite for me. I still have facial waisting, but looks a LOT better now. Even my co-workers have noticed and have commented positively. Orlando There are.If you're losing weight like that, I'd sure like to know why. There has to be something going on. First thing I would do is to try to figure that out.Anabolic steroids can help put on muscle, and megace can make you gain fat. Marijuana can help with appetite, but post November, I guess that issue is less clear.JBOn Dec 15, 2004, at 11:06 PM, PozHealth wrote:> are there any meds other then serostim that can be used to try to> regain some weight from AIDS wasting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 ___ I thought it was best to drink before breakfast and then after lunch and dinner? By drinking after meals that will put the weight on?? I sure do not want to do that! SharonJ ________________________________________________________________________ Check out the new AOL.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Have you checked her fasting insulin, HbA1c, and leptin levels? Zieve OK UNDA brains...I have a 62 yo female with no complaints other than she has not been able to lose weight for years. I put her on the AI diet, COPs, monitored her calorie intake, she is exercising daily and still nothing...though she hasn't GAINED any weight during a recent vacation where she ate everything she wanted. She is extremely frustrated and keeps making a HUGE deal about the money she's spent with me and still seeing no results even though I've helped her stress response and knee pain while continuing to treat her weight. I did a hormone panel and nothing was out of range except her E:P ratio was really low showing slight estrogen dominance. Her afternoon cortisol values were barely out of range, but she does not feel like she has an energy "slump" in the afternoons. UNDA-wise, I started her on 2,20,243 which did help her bowels become more frequent and easier to pass. Today I put her on alterative tea - 4 cups per day, a B-complex and hydro to the adrenals after each shower/bath. Her stress was worse when she first came to see me in July, taking on all her family's stress, being the monarch, etc. Since the UNDAs and EFT and a few other things I gave her, that has gotten MUCH better, which nixed my idea to work on boundaries next. She is 5'5.5" and 188lbs. Both calves are edematous, but non-pitting. Continue working on liver? Perhaps spleen (I keep getting a spleeny vibe from her, but to be honest, I don't know why)? I'm totally lost... Any thought are MUCH appreciated. ~ McElveen, ND Bare Medicine Springvale, ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi - I would look into the possibility of food sensitivities and her GI function...irritation there can be a chronic source of inflammation.Edema in the legs makes me think Kidney/Adrenal whether her cortisol test reflects it or not...is she drinking enough?If the type of exercise she is doing is being perceived by her body as a stress it could be working against her. Perhaps encourage yoga/tai chi/gentle weight training.Consider discussing with her what her goals/expectations are....Does she want to be healthy or just lose weight? You are helping her to get back into balance, which is not going to be quick or easy, but just look at the benefits thus far!When she is in better balance her body will find it's comfortable healthy weight...and it might not be the weight she imagines for herself... our bodies change shape as we age...and she may be temperamentally prone to carry more weight, but that doesn't mean she can't be healthy.Good luck!
