Loss of smell was probably my first symptom. Now I believe that I have gradually lost my sense of taste.
So food just isn’t that good.. I also have had swallowing problems especially since thyroid surgery last November. I agree with Gail, I monitor my calories and take supplements.

I wonder if her appetite has decreased? Thats what happened to me from the drugs....I am almost never hungry so it is easy not to eat. I lost 30 pounds this past year. I would monitor what she is eating for calories and give her a supplement. You can buy some in single servings or you can buy a mix and make it to her taste preference with fruits, yogurts, ice cream , etc. :)

If you’re taking Inbrija stop it. That’s what I was taking when I started to lose weight like your wife is and I stopped it and I started getting the Weight back.
