Does anyone go without food at all with fibro flareup? Just no apetite.

I often have no appetite however it is vital that you eat something when on meds, try small amounts throughout the day. xx

Yes I often lose my appetite during a flare up and at the moment I have just started topamax and they make me feel really nauseous so no appetite at all at the moment, I am however having the occasional rich tea biskwit with a glass of peppermint water to try and settle the nausea it helps a wee bit 🎅🎄⛄

I often have no appetite and when I do eat sometimes have difficulty in swallowing

Hi again, if you are struggling to eat due to lack of appetite, then try having a bowl of soup as this is very nutritious and nutrition is very important when you are not feeling too well. Please take care of yourself and I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hello Everyone

I have little appetite although you wouldn't believe it as am overweight due to lack of exercise which through fatigue and pain am no longer motivated...I also am that tired just showering makes me feel like lying down again...am not always like this but in a flare up at moment and had my first shower in 3 days!!! Don't worry have not been out and have had no visitors...phew!!

Do others experience this? My colleagues/friends would be shocked if I revealed this !

Hope today is OK for you all

Yes in a really bad flare I can be too weak & heavily fatigued to shower, which makes me feel even worse. I use baby wipes to freshen up then fresh deoderant & some nice scented oil perfume or a body spray that doesn't irritate me, makes me feel better if I can't shower. A shower chair is an idea too, takes some of the strain off when in a flare 💜

I tend to rely on toast, breakfast cereal or scrambled eggs when I have no appetite. My wife encourages me to eat in order to 'soak up' the meds. It is difficult sometimes though when I have no appetite whatsoever.

My appetite often reduces when I have flare ups it's a combination of the pain, fatigue and the affects of the medication. Take care
