Apetamin

So recently I’ve dropped about 10-15 lbs. Last month I had a lack of appetite and just wasn’t eating. I’ve gotten it back but I don’t want to be a glutton and constantly stuff my face. I don’t like the way I look, I think I’m too skinny. I was thinking about ordering the Apetamin syrup. Has anyone with lupus ever tried that??

I would strongly encourage you to talk with your doctor before taking Apetamin syrup. Almost everything you ingest is processed through your kidneys. If your kidneys are not working well then this could cause your body to not be able to process (filter) toxins out of your blood as well as they could before. Things that are filtered out with healthy kidneys may build up and become toxic for people with decreased kidney function.
