Hello ! my wife has lost her appetite and taste for food, but is not because Parkinson's, is related to side effect of Vyalev, her weight loss has been sudden so will talk with Neurologist about stop this meds and get back to regular CarB/Dopa pill every 2.5hrs or so, I believe we need to be aware of side effects and pay attention at our loved Parkinson patient.
My husband has definitely lost his appetite - except when it comes to sweets. No matter what I fix for dinner, he'll eat a few bites and give the rest to the dog. He'll still eat ice cream though. It is very frustrating for me, as I try to prepare healthy meals.
My husband has lost too much weight. Sometimes he's hungry but he'll take a bite or two and says he can't taste anything. He never liked candy before but now he's eating chocolate which is really bad because he has Type 2 Diabetes.
Yes I had a big loss of appetite. I weighed. 150 lbs. and ended up at about 97 lbs. the doctors never said anything until I asked them about it. I had to take care of myself and make me eat. I now weigh about 122 lbs. this is the weight I wanted to be at.
