Can Chiari 1 cause decreased appetite

[Jennyfoo]

I was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis. Basically, my vagus nerve doesn't work right/ is slow. As a result, my stomach empties slowly. I have good days and bad days. Some days I'm so nauseated I can barely eat anything, other days I seem fine. I also have problems with temperature regulation. I think they're both due to a malfunctioning autonomic nervous system because of Chiari.

My appetite is always next to nil. I barely eat anything. My intake is probably 1/2 of what it was a year ago, but I don't lose weight. It's really weird. My hubby recently went on a diet. He's sen tracking both our caloric intake. I'm lucky to come in at 1200-1500 a day. He's averaging 2500 and dropping weight. It's so not fair. I've got about 80 lbs I'd love to lose. He's got 120.

TTFN,
Jenn

My son is hungry all the time. But this is a side effect of the Epilepsy meds he's on.
He's thirsty all the time too.

I have wondered that myself. Will be curious to read others response to this question.

As for me- very rarely does anything sound good anymore. Hardly ever get hungry. But I don't know if this is just me or if it's Chiari.
