AIDS Wasting Syndrome?

The No. 1 cause of AIDS wasting syndrome is not taking HAART medications. If you have AIDS, the following factors can work together to promote weight loss and wasting syndrome:

Not eating enough. It may be difficult to get adequate nutrition for reasons such as these:

Poor appetite from HIV infection.

Medication side effects, such as nausea, changes in taste, or mouth tingling.

Opportunistic infection symptoms, such as a painful throat or sense of fullness.

Lack of energy to shop for and prepare meals
Depression.

Yes, Granpa Dave, I think you are correct. I worked with the HIV/AIDS community for years in Texas. I think his life style is finally catching up.

Doesn’t HIV adapt to the drugs? Maybe with his version, the virus adapted and theyou don’t work.

There was a post on FB months ago that he had aids. I did not put much credence to it but maybe that person was right. Who knows? Cancer also could be a reason. My late husband was told in April he had terminal liver cancer. They gave him 6 months but he died in July. . He had lost a lot of weight, was very weak, but still tried to do the things he enjoyed, playing golf and bass fishing. After he died we went through his bass boat and found a crutch he had used to get in and out of the boat. He would never have wanted to live like that. That was in 2006 and we still miss him terribly especially at this time of the year. God bless.

seriously, this evil goof has access to all the best nutrition services...if he can't eat, he has to be getting TPN thru an IV at night or PEG tube feedings....

if he's getting neither.....

I don't care what he has....I too hope he gets his "just rewards"....
