There is a range of symptoms that may affect those people who are suffering from an industrial disease that leads them to seek asbestos compensation. One of these is loss of appetite.
It is not a defining symptom; there are many conditions aside from mesothelioma and asbestosis that could lead to either a sensation of fullness or lack of hunger, such as fever, zinc deficiency, or cardiac problems. Similarly, while it is a common symptom of asbestos-related diseases, it is not present in every case.
As if to make the situation more complex, it is also true that some of the medical treatments for conditions such as mesothelioma can cause a lack of appetite.
A sufferer pursuing a claim who finds his or her appetite affected, therefore, may be referred to a dietician as part of a treatment regime. It is unusual to be put on a special diet; the recommendation to eat smaller portions frequently may be made, or extra protein suggested.
As some people have a stronger appetite in the morning, a time-based recommendation to eat while hungry may be made; this also applies to people who feel more able to eat on some days than others. As the sense of taste can also be affected, someone suffering an asbestos-related disease may have to change what he or she eats on that basis too.
Nutritional supplements, including fish oil, may also be recommended. In some cases, medication that provokes appetite may be prescribed, which may be steroid-based.
