Appetite loss

[Sierramist]

Guys I haven’t had an appetite and I’ve lost 4 pounds in 6 days. I’m making sure to eat 500-1000 calories a day to not starve. Should I be worried? I also just got off my menstrual cycle which may be the case.

I feel as though sometimes this is normal with PMS or getting off your menstrual cycle, as that has happened to me before in the past. It does sound like you are losing weight and appetite consistently over a period of days in a quick manner, however, so maybe it would be a good idea to check in with your doctor.

Thank you for the advice but I have agoraphobia and haven’t been able to see my doctor

Water weight loss can account for a few pounds but as "clairecreative" suggested, it's best

to see your doctor regarding your loss of appetite as well. Take care xx

I understand Sierramist. I had Agoraphobia for 5 years. Is it possible for you to have a virtual visit? xx

[Sierramist in reply to Agora1]

We’re you homebound agoraphobia like never left the house? That’s what I have and I do virtual visits with my doctor but she told me to start on vitamins a month ago which I did and i got better but I’ve lost my appetite again. I think it’s getting better. It’s probably just a hormone thing.

I was homebound for the entire 5 years. I was fortunate in having a doctor who just started his practice to do house calls as well as his nurses do wellness checks on me every week. I had labs done at home and even ultrasounds. The only thing it proved is that I didn't have to ever leave my house. Not any way to live.

Of course the Pandemic as well as having Agoraphobia is yet another hill to climb now.

Take care of yourself I certainly understand xx

I’m so sorry to hear that it definitely isn’t fun. Hopefully when I start therapy it will help me. I really need to have labs done but I haven’t been able to go.

I lost a lot of weight after going off of antidepressant (Zoloft)

Did you go off of your meds?

[Sierramist in reply to FearIsALiar]

No I haven’t stopped any meds
