After my last exacerbation I had lost about 30 pounds. I am seriously working on gaining it back. Help please.

Dronabinol. Dronabinol is a synthetic version of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the mood-altering compound found in marijuana (Cannabis sativa). Marijuana has been known as an appetite stimulant for centuries, having been recommended for that purpose by Ayurvedic practitioners and by the Arabic physician Al Badri, who first described its orexigenic properties in 1251.

Yes all of this is good food and approved on the MS diet and the intertistal cystitis diet. Must avoid to much citrus though for me.

Oh goodness, so sorry to hear about this! I go through weight fluxuations as well; the last time I dropped to 98 pounds! The only thing that helped bring my weight back up was MetRx. It's a high calorie powder that can be made into pudding, thick shake, flavored drink. The stuff actually tastes good!
Sending happy thoughts (and lots of healthy calories) your way.

It's frustrating to lose weight for no good reason, isn't it?
Are you sick?
If not - weight loss might make you ill.
Don't try to gain weight by eating more though - eat healthy!

I lost a lot of weight too. Went from a muscular 184lbs to 151. I started drinking Super Mass Gainer. I got it at GNC. Every drink adds 1300 calories.
