Hubby is still losing weight even though he is eating well. Yes Andi, I am cooking again since his illness, 'ya slacker..LOL-(love ya)!! He has tried so hard to gain weight and eat as much as possible, but to no avail. He WILL NOT smoke marijuana (I actually bought him some as a last resort) and the Marinol pills make him dizzy. I tried to tell him that ALL his meds have this side effect but he knows how he is feeling and WILL NOT take them. They cost $27.50 each x 100 pills, I paid cash for them when we were without medical insurance (he tried them first before I bought them). Almost makes me want to smoke and do the pills myself!! LOL. I would but I do not need my feet to get smaller THAT bad (That's for PinkGirl..Tehehe!!).

Anyone try this drug?? I am thinking it too will make him dizzy. Any imput would help his situation. Talk soon Friends>>Believe51
