Hunger.

On Monday night, I ate a big plateful of home-made chili con carne.
Lovely, it was.

Around 5 a.m. Tuesday, I regurgitated vast quantities of it down the
bog. In between shivering spells, and sweating like a galley slave,
(and taking the CBX for an MOT) I've survived on six cups of milky
coffee, all of which have tasted awful.

While the CBX was being tested, I treated myself to a coffee and an
Eccles cake in a nearby cafe. True enough, they both tasted less than
pleasant.

I feel much better now, despite the aching ribs from the constant
coughing(now subsided), but what puzzles me is this:

Why don't I feel even a little bit hungry?

Is someone slipping you diet pills ?

Did you make it with kidney beans ?

I nearly poisoned myself with undercooked kidney beans; but iirc it was
about an hour after consumption that I boffed for Britain.

 

Tinned. Mrs Dodger reported no ill-effects, though did exhibit similar
symptoms on Saturday/Sunday.

I don't think the CCC is the culprit.

"The onset time from consumption of raw or undercooked kidney beans to
symptoms varies from between 1 to 3 hours. Onset is usually marked by
extreme nausea, followed by vomiting, which may be very severe. Diarrhea
develops somewhat later (from one to a few hours), and some persons report
abdominal pain. Some persons have been hospitalized, but recovery is usually
rapid (3 - 4 h after onset of symptoms) and spontaneous."

Could be a virus. I had something similar recently - done and dusted
in a day or so.

 

This sounds very much like the vomting bug that did the rounds last
year. We had 6 people off with it in the office on the same day. It
was utterly horrible in terms of the sickness, fever and aches /
pains. Lasted about a day or so. You won't feel hungry until your
body is completely convinced that the bug has been dealt with - why
would it want to eat when it'll just bring any food back up again?

You're wrong - that was in fact a very polite way of saying "Because,
like many species of whale, your body has enough fat reserves to
survive for six months without food".

Yeah, agree with this - think it's a parvovirus BICBW. I picked one up
from the "mud" on Tough Guy earlier this year, and spent the following
day puking for Britain. Absolutely no appetite for a couple of days
afterwards, and I still can't face courgettes (the last things I ate
before the vomming started).

I've had a cold for the past few days, and while the illness and
gallons of snot aren't too much bother, the inability to smell or
taste anything is really pissing me off!
