loss of appetite

Hi,

For the last week or so, I've just had no appetite. This is very unusual for me, I don't want to eat any of my favourite foods. I would normally be hungry when I reached work in the mornings. However, it'll now get to 2/3pm and I'll realise I haven't eaten, nor do I want to.

I'm forcing myself to eat something for dinner so I can take my azathioprine. I'm fine when I eat but gain no real pleasure from it.

I'm currently flaring (proctits) since may this year, but all manageable symptoms right now, just a little frustrating. I can't imagine it's linked?

Should I just wait this out and hope my appetite come back soon. Anyone have experience of decreased appetite? I've only ever not wanted to eat when in a lot of pain. Not the case now so I'm just a little puzzled.

Thanks

I didn't want to eat anything on imuran either. I think the nausea did it for me. It's just the nature of the medication, as nausea seems to be a common side-effect, though under-reported. Like you said, I think sometimes you have to make yourself eat, if that helps any. That's what I did when I was on it.

Best.

I'm in the same boat right now StarGirl.

Can't eat, the food I do eat tastes disgusting.
