A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I do not enjoy food anymore. I dont like it. I feel sick all the time. Espeicallly after seizures happen makes it worse. I cannot eat after a seizure, i am scared that i will throw up again It made me think that about eating disorders? Its been happening months. I just dont eat anything all day. Just one or two little snack i just cope with

I have always eaten like a horse, and I'm very thin. I could eat two Burger King Whoppers for dinner.
I recently started taking phenobarbital and now food never crosses my mind, it may be 6:00 pm and I haven't eaten a bite.
I have to make myself eat when my family eats dinner.

Anytime i have a seizure my appetite is gone. Nothing sounds good, doesn't usually taste good, and if people ask ask what i want Absolutly nothing comes to mind(imagine a blank chalkboard or whiteboard). The lack of hunger last for a few months for me. I am scared about barfing but have accepted ( for me ) that after a 2nd seizure i will barf. I eat the next day and my husband said he always has to fight with me to eat for a few weeks after. I usually have 1 meali and a snack for the day. Hope you find what works well for you!
