Hi Hazel. I lose my appetite sometimes but it's usually because I am depressed and in pain. If my pain is to bad,shopping for food or preparing it is to much and I'll eat something like tea coffee with cake biscuits or bread that's all I want.i know that's bad especially with type two diabetes also! I love food!!! Usually a very good eater☺ nite nite. Chris x

Hi Hazel

Lose of appetite is most likely due to what I like to call the "I can't be bothered" syndrome. This happens when the pain from Fybro et. al. makes it just to much of a chore to shop for and prepare meals. Consider taking vitamins like B12, Magnesium, D/D3 or one of those powdered meal supplement drinks which are actually pretty good.

Take care and make sure you see you GP if lose of appetite continues.

i think i lost my appetite ages ago, im forced by my other half to eat even a child sized portion each day, or otherwise i wouldnt bother at all, i just dont feel hungry at all, but i do tend to drink a coffee nearly every hour

I find it's a case of I really can't be bothered organising food, preparing it, cooking it, clearing up the mess, where's the energy left to eat it ?

I did buy a soup maker after Christmas and it makes a whole pot of soup in 25 minutes. It would be possible to make fresh soup from ready chopped veg, too.

I tend to live on a smoothie for breakfast, cheese and apple for a snack, soup and either cheese or beans on toast. Roll on summer !
