@mayofeb2020, Thanks for your concern. The nausea and weight loss began a year ago January. Underwent many lab tests and scans but never given a medical diagnosis. Took far too many months to realize that the Metformin prescribed for pre-diabetes was the culprit. It was the only thing changed and I still wonder that my pcp didn't consider that in the beginning or along the way. My research was what did the trick...scary that the patient finds an answer the doc overlooked entirely. Stopping the metformin, seeing a dietitian and adhering to his wonderful combined meal plan for diabetes and kidney disease improved my lab numbers. The continuing difficulty is the challenge of now regaining weight that began long before the pandemic. However, while others report that they tend to overeat when stressed, I am one who loses my appetite when stressed. I do prepare healthy meals and force myself to eat but the pandemic has not been a friend for this issue.
