I've loss a lot of weight with Lyme. What about you?

Since recently being diagnosed, my doctor did a bio energy test to see how my body is expending energy, mitochondrial function,etc.

So one part of the test you breathe for 12 minutes and it calculates how many calories are used. Again I've loss over 45 lbs in all over a 1.5 year period. Right now my body burns 1335 calories in 12 minutes. Whoa!!! I was able to hold at 116 for August 2015- this month. Now I've been losing again.

Anyway we will have to work to calm that down. No wonder I'm losing and can't gain. Imagine what I'm losing while sleeping.

Nope and wish I did! I actually gained the first couple of months about 10 pounds, but now I am staying the same. Can't seem to get rid of those 10.

Yes. I went from 172 to 146 in a matter of months. The pain and digestive issues made it so I didnt feel like doing anything but light work and laying down. Not much eating. It goes in cycles for me. Im back up to 155, but cant seem to gain anymore. As a man, it feels so bad to lose the weight and strength. My legs are really weak.

Yup - very quickly when my symptoms first hit...I lost 14 lbs in a few weeks (138-124 lbs)

....and my muscles were limp...couldn't even flex them....

I tried for a year to gain the weight back...but to no avail.

Within 4 months of treatment starting...I started to gain it back again.

Thanks. I am soooooo glad that I'm not alone in that. Everything I read says 80% of people gain. Yes the first time my symptoms hit (didn't know what was wrong ), I went from 155 to 125. Now that part I didn't mind because I had been trying to lose some anyway.

Now about 1 year later (and now knowing the culprits EBV and Lyme) I am 112 lbs and trying desperately to hold onto this....it's not so great. Not to mention the muscle wasting. I don't like looking in the mirror unclothed.

I lost 20 lbs very quickly and for over a year could do nothing to gain the weight back. I went down to a size 0. After 2.5 years in treatment I am now back to the weight I was before getting sick. I hope it stops now. I don't want to gain more, but am worried because I still can't exercise.

Oh no. A size 0. It took you quite a bit of time to gain the weight back I see.

I don't want to buy anymore clothes, but I really can't fit many of my pants now. I also don't want to show these puny legs😊.

I went from 289 lbs to 248 pounds in a matter of 5 weeks. 4 weeks into treatment and I am finally not losing it anymore. But the weight loss was drastic. I agree with trader it was manly because I would work and go to sleep I had may GI issues so didn't ever want o eat.
