[unconcerned]

In March last year, I tripped over one of my two spaniels and fell down the stairs from top to bottom and was knocked unconcious at the back of my head. It was glued together and 'fixed'. In the worry about my head I had forgotten to mention that I hat effectively skinned part of my leg which became severely infected and the strong antibiotics resulted in nausea and a lack of appetite....the leg is gravely scarred and it is what it is as people say, but having lost three and a half stone (I was overweight) and developing a new attitude to food...i.e make it light and only when craved in small doses....could this possibly be down to that?

Can a knock to the head do this? It entirely changed what I wanted to eat.

Hi unconcerned and Welcome!
Wow, that was quite a fall.
Sometimes strange things happen with traumatic injury. I got RSD in 96 -which is a neurological condition. And it affected my taste and smell. I no longer enjoy coffee (and I own a coffee business), a lot of foods that I used to enjoy can no longer eat or even stand the smell of. Who Knows??? Strange,I know my mother in law lost her sense of smell and taste after having spinal menengitis. And I had a friend that lost sense of smell and taste after a car wreck.
Take care and again Welcome! loretta
