weight gain
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2008-05-07 12:31.
In 1980 shortly after joining the military I got some sort of illness that the military never diagnosed. I lost 12 pounds while is was sick. It left me tired and weak with mental confusion for 12 months after the symptoms left. In 1989 after repeated exposure to second hand smoke I had more respiratory illnesses. While I took the powerful antibiotics I slept most of the time and was not awake enough to eat much food. I gained 15 pounds and I have never since had the same energy level.
Now each time I get sick I gain weight. Doctors have also put me on anti depressant meds for headaches and I have gained weight. Nothing I have done to loose the weight has worked. Deep in my soul something is telling that there is something to this fat virus/gene. Shauna Pearce
