Texas Tracy in a previous entry mentioned that she has lost her appetite. I'm wondering if more of you have this problem and have any suggestions. I was diagnosed last October. I had normal hunger until around March when over a month it faded to zero. I do feel "empty" and try to eat but quickly become full. I'm having a hard time consuming enough calories and have lost about twenty pounds so far. I suck down one to two Ensures a day. My doctor doesn't think it's ALS related. My swallowing if impacted but fairly good. I do my share of choking and aspirating though. Ive been prescribed Remeron (Mirtazapine). Doesn't do any good. Pot helps a little. Any ideas? Alex Schmid
