Can someone explain this weird virus to me?
(I assume its a virus). The life has been sucked out of me = no energy. I have a low grade fever. I can't sleep well.

Other than that, I'm not necessarily miserable. But the weird thing is that I get this ravenous, deep hunger when it is time to eat. Not like a mild "I'm hungry." More like I would imagine a vampire feels when it needs blood.

What kind of virus makes you want to eat really bad?

I don't get it.

1. Sounds serious,

and could possibly be Fear of Poverty, which has been virulent since the election. The body responds by seeking to hoard fat in anticipation of the coming famine. Get thee to a grocery store while you still have money to shop! That's the only cure I can think of...sorry.

Feel better! :hug:

Edit for misspelling. The rest are on their own.

3. I Have Had the Life Sucked Out of Me Since Thanksgiving
Finally started taking antibiotics over the weekend and am coming back slowly. I'll be more disturbed if it's still going in March.

6. Good call, surfernaw
It could explain the fatigue and ravenous hunger and the low grade fever could be a seperate issue. Some labwork is in order (after the grocery store run)!
