loss of appetite after stroke
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2019 6:10 pm
A friend came to visit and reported huge weight loss due to loss of
appetite and loss of taste and smell.
But then she reported having had a stroke.
She also reported living betw 2 cell towers and had also added wi-fi to
her home before the stroke.
I am thinking the stroke has caused some damage to the sensory part of
the brain for which I found
some information online.
She also reports a general malaise with loss of interest in moving
about. The woman was always
a doer type of one thing or another even if it wasn't major exercise.
So I wonder if anyone has had success in treating brain injury of this
sort (assuming this is the problem).
I expect to speak again with her today or tomorrow after she gets a
check up for heart conditions altho
she does not report any problems--just worry and children who are
badgering her to get on drugs which
she abhors and avoids. She does eat, or was eating pretty healthily
given the climate she lives in. Major
sandy soil so growing food is hard. Coming to visit me is always a
venture out into the garden and big
salads or veggie meal. I did give her some of my apples and some
fermented apple butter that I had left
and she could taste it. She will eat walnuts and almonds which she can
tolerate so at least she is getting some
good fat calories. She is living in the tropics where greens are very
limited and super hard to grow without
big expense for hauling in clay type soil to mix into the sand so not a
good solution.
Any info appreciated.
