So, I am sort of in the same boat as Mo. Losing lots of weight because I am not eating. I'm just not hungry. I don't think about eating. Most of the time food doesn't sound good. I try to make myself eat something in the morning with coffee. But most of the time I eat a little package of trail mix and a Hansen's smoothie drink at lunch time and that might be about all I eat for the day. If the girls and I don't eat a dinner together then I often don't think of eating dinner. But there are times that I do eat and eat a lot. It's like I just have to be in the mood for it.
I've lost a lot of weight this year and am SO happy and enjoying it. I needed to lose some of the weight for awhile. I started a medication last year that made me gain a bunch of weight and I had already wanted to lose about 10 lbs before that. But now I keep losing weight. I had no pants that fit me. Sweetpea has gained some weight (which she needed to do!) and gave several pairs of jeans to Punkers. Punkers cleaned out her jeans and I tried them on and they all fit! I have more jeans now than I've ever had in my life! And they were my daughters! hahaha But all of a sudden, some of them are getting loose on me. "( I don't want to lose any more weight! In fact, I'd like to gain about 3 lbs. back. Sweetpea is accusing me of liking to be skinny so much that I'm intentionally losing more weight to try to be hot...to try to get a guy. Or that I'm aneorexic. She keeps telling me how tiny I am and how worried she is.
I also have bruises all over my legs. I've been bruising SO easily. I started taking Iron, Vit C and Vit B2 about 3 wks ago. I can only take Iron a couple days a week because my digestive system doesn't like it (even the slow releas stuff). All of those are supposed to help with bruising but I haven't noticed a difference.
I have a med check appointment with my Dr on Thursday so I am going to mention it do her. I want a CBC blood draw done just to make sure everything is all right. I take so many different meds that I think my liver & kidney levels should be checked. I haven't felt good at all the last 3 days. It could just be a bug of some sort but combined with the above stuff, it makes me worry a bit. I have a major headache, stomach pain on the right side (not usual for me) and all over body aches. My throat hurts a bit and so do sinuses. I can't tell if its fluish or cold. I had a temp of 99.5 last night and my normal is 97.6. I stayed home from work yesterday, knowing that work was going with no phone coverage - that's how bad I felt.
I have a ton of work to do today and I feel like a slug. I have to do payroll or I might have stayed home again today. I might go take a nap at lunch time. We have a nice cozy couch and I have a blanky in my car. zzzzzz
I hope you feel better!!!
