This is also a very new situation for me. I've always had a completely normal appetite, and like most women always watched what I ate, and never felt this way.
I guess it started around the time I began Ixempra. And for all these months my taste buds have been off, or nausea, or whatever. But now as everything has normalized & I've been off Ixempra for a month and just started TDM1, and it's started again. This never occured on any of the other treatments I'd been on in the past 8 years.
I've thought about taking an Ativan before I eat, but haven't tried that yet.

It's a very confusing thing and I'm so grateful to have you guys weigh in on the topic!
