Wasting Syndrome
Where is my butt,(just flat as can be) and my poor legs so skinny, I swear my head has shrunk. 30+ yrs in the Family (HIV+)now my body wants to change. Somebody help me understand.
Hello
, what a beautiful photo! Thank you for sharing yourself with us. You are not alone in struggling with the changes that can happen to the body with HIV. One of our members wrote about their experience with early treatments (and wasting syndrome) in this story, https://h-i-v.net/stories/early-treatments. Please also check out this article about wasting syndrome, https://h-i-v.net/wasting-syndrome, it includes some possible ideas for ways to manage and treat it. In addition to the information I've shared here, please don't hesitate to bring up your concerns with your doctor as well, if you haven't already. Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
