I was diagnosed with a staph infection and the weight loss has been explained as having to do with an extremely busy and labor intensive work schedule, light eating, and high metabolism I’m apparently burning more then I’m taking in my Dr. Isn’t concerned about it
Any unexplained weight loss like that should be discussed with a doctor. Do you have a physical every year? I'm guessing not but now is the time! Have those boils looked at. I'm sorry I don't have more info for you but it is really something you need to be seen for. I personally would like to lose a bit of weight . . . but when it just happens like that, it can be worrisome. So, see a doctor and please let me know.
