Anna, the foodie, is losing weight.
It seems losing weight is quite normal for people in the advanced stages of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). I’ve read that if a PD patient has a normal diet, and still loses 8 kg or more in a year, then the chances are that the patient is reaching the end-stage of the disease (and life).
There is really nothing definitive with Parkinson’s Disease. Each patient is different. They progress and react differently. Most doctors are unwilling or unable to predict what will happen at end-of-life. But, let me save that for another post.
Back to Anna’s weight. He has lost 7 kg in 8 months. And that has me worried. He has been ill for a number of those months. Respiratory issues in November, eosinophilia in December, and then loose motions in January. But, he’s been eating OK through those illnesses. And exercising. So, his loss of weight is baffling.
