Re: Loss of Weight/Parkinson's

i too had the same problem, losing 60 lbs and when all else failed to gain some weight back i had to put myself into an eating disorder hospital and i started out at 85 lbs and now weigh 125 but it has taken 2 yrs. hang in there and definetly go and see a nutritionist or dietician and ask them to help you and add olive oil to your diet. i would just drink a tblsp 2 times daily and eat nuts and fruits and protein smoothies and the like. hope this helps. you are not alone. many pwp's have this difficulty usually early on in the disease. my experience was about 7 yrs ago and i was just dx last year but doc told me i have had pd for many many yrs and many of the symptoms i was having were from the pd not the fibromyalgia or anorexia as first thought. good luck and god bless you.
