My friend was on depo and she was HUGE. But amazingly, after she got on the shots (depo for birth control) she lost weight- down right skinny. Her doctor didnt recognize her and said that her case was special as most GAIN weight because of the shots and here she was losing it...lucky her.

Anyways, back to the actual main topic. Did your doctor check for worms? I know that a friend of mine kept losing weight and they later on found out that he had tapeworms. Back in the days, that use to be a method of losing weight but the doctors got smart and found out it was harmful as the larvy from the tapeworm can enter your blood stream and be very harmful- even death.

Check for worms. I just tried this amazing product (thanks to this forums) Its a colon cleanser that others were discussing in this forums. I decided to give it a try and purchased the sample from www.jadesproductions.com and It really works. No worms for me but Im sure if I had worms, it is now in the toilet. Give it a try and see how it works for you.

Hope things get better for you.
