Hi David, stress is a funny old thing regarding food, in some people stress will cause them to go off of food on the other hand in other people stress will cause them to comfort eat and thus the pounds will pile on. However if you are loosing weight for no apparent reason then you must see a doctor. Have a nice and quiet day, sincerely, Pete 😆

I think any kind of long term stress will cause us to lose weight David. I know from bad things that have happened to me in the past that this is true. Hope you are feeling better today. Sorry to hear you have been suffering recently. Love Lynne xx

Try to stay strong David - you`ll get through this. I think everyone`s stress levels go up at this time of the year. And stress definitely makes my tinnitus louder. Take care. Love Lynne xx

Hi David,

Might be worth upping your Amitryptaline too

I'm sure CBT will be helpful..

Keep an eye on your weight and if eating ok as stress can make you eat or the opposite.

I'm really tired at the moment..lots of love glynis
