My partner has PD and was dx 15 years. he is now 67 and is affected only in his right side. Weight loss has been an issue with him and not having started out as a big man his weight loss is very noticeable and quite distressing, mainly because everyone assumes he is "really ill" especially if they have not seen him for a while. His appetite is good and he eats very well although his medication is very affected by his meal timing and by protein content. Last week, after a routine blood test it was revealed that he is anaemic and is low in other blood proteins. Unfortunately, I wasn't presnt at the consultation and like most men, he didn't ask any questions so thats about all I know. The Dr has sent him for follow up blood tests. I am seeing his doctor tomorrow but I am just thinking if there is any history of PD and anaemia either from the condition or the medication and/or maybe it is an overall absorption thing which would account for him not getting full benefit from the nutrition of his food and lowing his bloodcount. Any thoughts on this from anyone would be appreciated.
