Weight loss and Not feeling to Eat
My sis-in law is continuously shedding weight and she even avoids eating or drinking food. She is PD with one leg affected by polio and has Low BP.
We are so worried about her current weight which may be only 35-40kgs. And she always avoids eating any kind of food and to make simple, she can fit in her 7 year old kid's clothing.!! All these started with the delivery of second child 4 years ago and since then she is shedding weight showing the chest bones similar to TB patients!!
Can you please suggest whom should we consult to make her eat well, increase her weight and make her lead a healthy life.
