Anyone else loose their appetite/will to live?

[Guest guest]

My son has AOSD (33 yrs old) and while he still manges to work (4 days on/4 days

off) he may not be able to continue doing that for much longer. He's a truck

driver. Aside from that issue...I'm concerned about the amount of weight he has

lost. He says he is not hungry (hardly EVER) and only will eat if it is in

front of him. He knows he should be eating but said that there is nothing in

his stomach that triggers or tells him that he is hungry. I'm worried that it

is a sign of depression. I know he's been blue since his wife left him (she did

not " sign up to be his nurse " ) but he was losing weight before then. Is this a

common thing? Also, he is now taking a whole load of various vitamins and

minerals every day as he knows his body needs something to keep going. Thanks.

(he is on MTX only)
