I'm really small, and I've always weighted not a lot. However, I don't eat as much as I uesd to (and I've never eaten a lot). I just have a very small appetite. I thought it was because I don't move a lot anymore. And I have nausea probably because of my meds. But my weight is now quite low and I'm a bit preoccupied about it. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I talked to my doctor about it and he's gonna make me do some blood tests.

Yes since Fibro I've lost weight. I especially find it hard in winter to maintain weight as the cold increases the pain which increases the nausea. Last winter I had to take a medical shake thing which is basically a high calorie drink that sick people take to maintain weight. I got it through prescription from my drs. It helpped a lot on the days I just couldn't handle eating due to nausea, I knew at least I was getting the nutrients I needed if I could just have the drink...slowly throughout the day.
