My father is 77yo. He got diagnosed with ocular Myasthenia gravis 3 months ago, which has now moved to include weakness in chewing.
- He is on Azathioprine (Imuran) 150 mg per day and Steroids (Prednisone) 10 mg per day.
- He has developed loss of appetite since last 1 month, which he attributes to reduced sense of taste.
- He is unable to taste salty food at all, where as his taste for sweet food is reduced. This is drastically reducing his oral intake.
- His sense of smell is preserved.

Has any of you experienced loss of taste? What was the underlying reason? How did you fix it?

Thank you

P.S. He has also developed severe central fatigue since last 1.5 months- individuals muscles don’t fatigue, but he feels extreme tiredness.
