Fibro and sickness

Having a rough day today. I was sick yesterday and today I feel like I've been run over by a truck. Does anyone else lose their appetite when they are having a high pain day?

I actually find myself attempting to comfort myself by eating stuff I shouldn't be eating, not because I'm hungry at all, but self medicating with food. This is an issue that I have to constantly be aware of as a very bad habit.0

For me, a certain amount of pain, what I'd called extreme agitation of the body, hard to focus the mind - that amount makes me want to eat. When the pain gets above that, then, unable to eat. I can often drink however if it's brought it me. Almond milk, ect.....Warm works better, so, chocolate almond milk, ie. Hot chocloate. Then when pain "out of control" No eating/drinking.
So, yeah it happens to me too. I went through a 4 month BAD pain episode last year unable to eat/drink and I GAINED 35 pounds cause of past yo yo dieting.
It's a balance of trying to get in enough calories when feeling quite unwell to not lose ground with the weight loss.
Best wishes to you.0
