My husband is 5'9" and 200lbs. On our wedding day 18 yrs ago he was 145lbs. (Our anniversary was Sunday!) About four years ago he started getting a belly. Couldnt get rid of it. We now know that his belly is because of the ALS. We have one doc at the VA who keeps saying he should lose weight, and I remind him that he has ALS and he can not lose weight. He is on a cholesterol med which has gotten his levels to an acceptable level, does any one else take a med to keep it down? HUGS Lori
