Sorry to hear that you are experiencing unwanted weight loss.

I don't have information on the drug you describe, but hope you will find the following links helpful with additional consultation with your doctor:

Take care.

jason, how do you pay for your other medical needs? I would think steroid injections done in a doctor's office would be covered. They were when I had to get them years ago.
