Bedbound not eating: Please go to the ER, there could be a lot going on. If you literally do not walk at all for 1 month it is hard to begin walking again . But could also be thyroid dysfunction, autoimmune process, sleep apnea ,diabetes depression, Your GM needs a full work up with xray, labs CBC, CMP, thyroid, B12,, urine , cortisol, Go t o ER ASAP it could be reversible -85 is not that old.
