I Have No Appetite.
I lost my sense of taste a year after diagnosis. I had no desire to eat. Now, three years later, I have to force myself to eat. I can still taste certain sweets, so have to make sure I do not eat too many. I weight 89#. I weighed 98 when first diagnosed, which was right for me as I am and have always been petite. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Hello LadyLuckBB & welcome to my team! I have had PD for 12 years and only recently have I lost my appetite and taste for food. I can go all day without anything
to eating. I weighed 130 lbs. when I was diagnosed and I now weigh a whopping
73 lb.! What gets me is that the doctors don't seem that concerned! They suggest that I drink drink Ensure which I have been doing for months. I have a taste for chocolate and very little else. I plan on asking my Neurologist on my next visit if there is some sort of appetite stimulate I can take. I need to put some meat on these bones because I was falling a lot and broke a few bones.
Have you talked to your doctor about this? Well. kiddo, at lest you know you are not the only one with that problem. Take care and God bless!šā¤ļøš

Hello Luckyladybb: Glad to hear! My appetite came back all by itself and I have gained 10 lbs.in the past month! Pretty soon I will have to start dieting again LOL I am going to save the name of that medication in case I should need it in the future, especially if it also helps with sleeping issues which i still have.! Thank you!
U r right, I have been craving pickles, 73, no not pregnant, but could get rich if I was, like the salty tast and crunch also cakes. Real food, not so much, no taste. Crunchy stuff like peanut butter w jelly on a toasted bagel works too.
Absolutely. But I find things that have a crunch like pickles, radisheswheat thins, make it more satisfactory with food.
