Just can't eat

Options
I have such a headache that I just can't eat this morning. I am going to try to get down an orange (for the sugar) and some toast and peanut butter for a snack a little later. I'm not sure I can handle it.

What do you guys do when circumstances like this happen? My stomach is growling but my head hurts so bad that I just don't feel like eating.

    I have at times in my life been very sick but never sick enough not to eat. Maybe during a stomach virus of violent throwing up but as soon as it settled, I am looking for food to replace that empty feeling.

    When kids are sick, the Doctors say it's most important to stay hydrated. So, work on keeping hydrated and just eat when you can! Hope you feel better soon! :flowerforyou:

    Don't worry about the food part. Stay hydrated. Water water water! Your body can go without food for a day. If your body doesn't want food listen to it.

    Aw:( I'm sorry, but do you know why you have a headache? Are you sleeping enough? You could be dehydrated? Have you taken any paracetamol? If you have tried all of these but nothing's worked, try not to fret, if you don't feel like eating, try having a bowl of soup if you can stomach it, when I'm not feeling well I drink mine through a straw lol so it doesn't feel like I'm eating, it will give your body the vitamins and nutrients it needs, and hopefully it might make you feel a bit better.

    Let my body decide what I can do. If you aren't feeling well enough to eat, just eat later. You'll be just fine.
