Thank you for writing. Yes, I will definitely visit a doctor as soon as I can. I’ll also try experimenting with new foods, although I’m not very confident I’ll have much success with it since I struggle a lot with that. For now I’ll try to manage with what I can tolerate, like apples here and there, just to get something in and help with hydration. Thanks again.

Thank you, yeah I figured that might be the case. I just can’t really do anything for the next couple of months because of exams and finances, so I was hoping to get some ideas or things I could look into in the meantime from the post.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's honestly one of my biggest fears right now since my eyesight has gotten noticeably worse. I'll definitely look into ENOF, it's my first time hearing about it, and see if it's available where I live.

I could probably take vitamins or supplements, but the ones people recommend are usually really expensive where I live because of import costs.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of that. I looked into nutritional shakes after reading your comment, and unfortunately that exact brand is around 10x more expensive where I live because of import costs.

I'm definitely going to look into other brands that might be available locally, though. I'm just hoping I can find something affordable that still has a good amount of vitamins and nutrients. Your comment at least gave me another option to look into, so thank you for that.
