Recently as the pain has gotten worse, I have found I am not interested in things like I used to. From food which I tend to go from upset stomach to starving and nothing sounds good at all back to upset stomach. Things that I have once craved and was insatiable for no longer interest me in the least. Does anyone else have reactions like this?

It could be meds. I have had meds do strange things to my taste buds. Once I had just gotten out of the hospital and I don't remember what meds I was on but, I kid you not, ketchup was spicy!!! Everyone else that was eating it said it was fine. This from a woman who loves spicy I couldn't eat the ketchup. So I'd check that out.

Nope you are not insane arretta. I go thru the same periods. I just got done with about 4 weeks of being so sick of eating anything. Then comes on the upset stomach because of not eating anything. Then comes the craving for one food only. Sometimes its a viscious (sp) cycle but it is happening and you are not insane. Sometimes I even get sick of drinking water. I can't have pop or any of them red bull things so I get the orange gatorade and have about 4 oz of it. Normal people go thru it too cause my hubby's the same way. I'll ask him what he wants for dinner and he says nothing appeals to him.

I go through it too and not just with food. When it get in a really bad pain cycle I can get very apathetic where I just don't care about anything. I just want to be left alone and try to sleep. I do it with food a lot more often, but my diet is so limited it is easy to get tired of all my options. Constant pain, I don't have to tell any of you this, wreaks havoc on your entire system. The brain just gets overloaded. You are not insane. Your just one of us lucky fibros Smile
Favorite Poem :
It is such a relief when you first find out.
That the pain really does have a name,
And then you will ask (and everyone does),
"Just where can i place all the blame".
No matter the limits, no matter the pain,
There's no evil, cruel "Master Plan".
It just simply happens, It just simply is.
You adapt, and you change what you can.
But even with the knowing the best and the worst,
All the pitfalls the future could hold,
You still have a choice, you quit or you fight.
You determine the story that's told.
And every small step that we take, my dear friends,
Each battle that we slowly win,
Just credits the love and the caring we share
With the FMily that we call our friends.

It could be withdraw then. It shows its ugly head in all kinds of strange ways.

Arnetta, please excuse the question, could it be from depression? I have blah moments where I am starved and start to eat , then I no longer want it after 2 bites. Or I don't know what to cook for dinner because nothing appeals to me. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. I haven't been onmuch lately. But you definatly are not insane.

Gentle Hugs,

Jenn

I just want to let you all know that I am just like you, a regular person. I am not a doctor or a therapist, but I do promise to be there and listen as often as I can.
Hugs and Peace,
Jenn

Yes. Sometimes it take quite a while for the meds to get out of your system. But I too have times like you've described, and they pass eventually. Here's another idea, it may not be withdrawal, but simply being off your meds. Pain can make your stomach upset and decrease your appetite. Pain pulls your attention away from things, making it harder to find enjoyment in them. There are medication assistance programs to help you get your meds. Have you checked into any?
I am not a doctor. Please consult with your doctor before following any advice given by myself or anyone else on this or any other forum.
