Re: Difficulty with eating/swallowing
I recall from my old nursing school days that the single word "anorexia" simply means lack of appetite. Which is probably what the SE is referring to. The actual eating disorder is called "anorexia nervosa" but everyone just uses the abbreviated version which can be misleading.
SO maybe revulsion towards food is some kind of side effect of a medication you take?
I know that after taking Ambien for awhile, I got terrible urges to do "night eating". Could not control it. Amazing the effects drugs can have on us
