Got my appetite completely back. Think I'm even gaining back some muscle mass. The enlarged liver is not good but adjustments to diet and getting off of my skinny ass and excercising should help.

I'm actually amazed my liver didn't check out years ago considering all of the crap I've filtered through it for the past 4+ decades.

(I'm looking right at you BAT)

I assure you I have never been in your liver.

Yeah you have a fatty liver but it's not too bad. Congrats on the clean bill of health. The liver is pretty resilient and good at healing itself for the most part.

Congratulations.

^ Yep, I recommend you use this thread to record your daily mileage on a bike, or post your medals, á la Bob.

When did you stop taking this medicine that caused the decreased appetite?

Been about 6 weeks now. I didn't stop, just went from 100mg back to the original 50mg I'd been taking before. All side affects are 100% gone.

My appetite is still on point. I'm not putting on any substantial weight but I've stopped losing. Funny thing is that based on my age, height, and weight, a number of online BMI calculators say I'm normal at 135. (my old weight of 165 put me on the upper end of normal).

Mike Update:

For about a year he's been working at his friend's bed and breakfast place in Three Rivers, CA which is southeast of San Fransisco - about a 5 hour drive from us if there's no traffic. He doesn't get paid but has free room and board and meals. He sounds happy which is really, really good.

He spent the weekend up in Oregon visiting his girlfriend. He just posted this. She's right behind him (awesome girl).



Talk about living life on your own terms. As much as I wish he'd gone the normal route (school, degree, great paying job, marriage, grandkids, etc.) can't help but admire the road he's chosen.

Isn't it illegal to not pay your employees?
