I know it's a combination of so many things and will hopefully pass over time. However for now I could easily skip meals and not feel hunger.
I will be talking to my doctors on this, but wonder if anyone has tried any meds to stimulate appetite? I haven't researched them yet but wonder if they are helpful?
Thanks in advance, Nancy
