Relist: I still need help.
I had heard the term used to describe my medical condition. Weight loss (unexplained), bone density issues, muscle weekness, general feeling of being tired. However, there was a word used, that I have now forgotten, Something like sirus or prius. I know that isn't much help, but I simply cannot remember the term. I am 50, so geriatric doesn't really seem the term, although I understand what you are saying.

again, and I am sorry to be so sparce in information. But I had also been given the term " Chromic Wasting Disorder/Disease" > would that be related or a totally different diagmosis/symptom? Thank you so much for your efforts to help.
