I've always got an appetite.

During clusters it doesn't change much.... but depending on how often you get hit and dance, I would assume those with a higher motabolism would be a little hungrier than those that don't....

While in cycle, I eat about 10 small meals a day, but no BIG meals. After a big meal, I feel like having a nap and we all knows who comes knocking then.

During a really bad cycle, I cannot eat a THING!

Now, when I was on Prednisone that was a different story....

No appetite for me when in cycle but could be the meds you are taking.
If I was chronic I'd probably weigh 20 lbs. :-/

I not taking meds during this cycle - I haven't had anything worse than a 7 on the kip scale for two weeks. I'm just taking the hot shower and a sansert before bed time. But God I just can't get enough to eat! If the pain gets worse I have some axert. My hmo wanted me to try it instead of amerge this time. I looked at the archives and it looks like I may or may not like it.

Its funny that you should bring this up now, my sister-in-law just notices that right after I have a HA, and all the pain has passed I am starving ;D Its like I just can't stop eating.

I eat all day if I have shadows all day. I't drives me crazy. As if the ch s aren't bad enough, but I'm also getting fat.

Looks like I finally have a valid excuse for being just a tad overweight! ;)

actually, now that I've thought about it...

... normally I don't like candy, NEVER eat it, but after a cycle, I'll get cravings for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups....

... I dunno...

Now that I think about it, I think I ate a lot but different stuff when getting hit. Smaller lighter stuff. No prime rib or pork roast dinners.

I eat all day long now. It's all I know how to do.
