    Lacking Protein

    That's the only way to get the protein in since you can't eat enough food. Have you tried mixing with jello or pudding? I can't smell anything when I make mine! Each nose is different. I'm using Unjury Chocolate Splendor, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Chicken soup too.

    Hair Loss!!??!!

    I've been taking Evening Primrose Oil for the last several years. My nails and hair grow like the dickens and my skin is not as dry anymore. They are big capsules (like fish oil) but I found it in liquid form to take until I can swallow them again!

    low thiamine?

    I found this on the Mayo Clinic site. Google B12 too - that sounds more like your symptons. Thiamine is involved in numerous body functions, including nervous system and muscle functioning; the flow of electrolytes in and out of nerve and muscle cells (through ion channels); multiple enzyme...
