Has anyone else lost their appetite with Mepron?
I have, since I am hypothyroid since getting sick, it's not the worse thing to happen, having no appetite. I was just wondering if this is a common side effect?
Yes, every month I have to increase it due to bad blood tests so we switched the type this month. We shall see what happens.
You're very welcome. I see the 'bot' blocked out my reference to

in the first line of my email -- I think I forgot the [square] brackets. Oh well.
Has your doc got you on thyroid supps?

Jackie, right now I am not calling this an unusual side effect. When I first got sick, I lost 40lbs in 1 month and looked like a sick skeleton. I am not that bad. My LLMD said malarone is an option if I want to try it.
Thanks Jackie.
Thanks Jackie.

Also read the package insert that came with the meds, as unclear as those can be. If any of the 'common' side effects listed above seem more than a minor annoyance, I'd call the doc's office for guidance.
That said, I was on Mepron for months and had zero side effects. Everybody's different!
