What Causes Weight Loss?
Question: For the past couple of years people have been commenting that I've "lost a lot of weight." Even though I weigh the same (185lbs) my face, neck, and upper chest have sagged. Other than that I feel fine. By the way I'm 50 years old. I have friends who are older that actually look like they have gained a little weight. I've had high risk encounters, but nothing anal. I've been tested for HIV and other STDS and they've all come back negative. Back in 2005 I was hospitalized for a swollen knee and had a tap down. The doctor found "crystals" and asked if I was sexually active and I said "no" (which was true at that time). I've also been to an oncologist and he said my blood samples are fine. What other thing can be causing this "wasting away" appearance?
