Re: Neuropathy, Digestive Issues and Chasing my tail ...
Hi, things have not been good with me lately.
I've still got no appetite 9 weeks out of hip surgery and I've lost 2.5 kgs (5 1/2 lbs). I'm really forcing myself to eat and I'm eating a lot but not gaining any weight! I've developed anxiety and depression as a result of worrying about this, which has further dampened my appetite. As I commented before, my blood work is fine and so is a recent abdominal ultrasound. My stomach is a bit rumbly but otherwise ok.
Can you loose weight even though you are eating (if you have anxiety or depression)? I'm within my BMI but if I was eating this amount when I had a good appetite, I'd be putting on weight!
As I commented before, I've developed some small fibre neuropathy (since late June) and I've heard that this can cause weight loss too. I'm getting quite confused :(
