Hello @tamarab and @larryh123

I've noticed the same flux in appetite with Parkinson's. As I have some other health issues, I'm never sure what symptom goes with what disorder. It's been a while since my taste buds have been on top of flavors. I used to use yellow mustard but now use only brown, spicy mustard. I used to avoid garlic and now hummus is a favorite of mine.

My weight is lower now than it ever was and some days appetite seems to be a problem as well. This is a good discussion. I hope that others chime in with their reflections.

This is how I feel as well "As I have some other health issues, I'm never sure what symptom goes with what disorder."
Along with the LBD there is Parkinsonism. Also Mytonic Muscular Dystrophy II - and a few gastro issues.
We were in the habit of throwing everything into the Parkinsons bucket until we had others to throw the stuff into.

Peace
