Title: Appetite in the aftermath
Post by primetime on Dec 26^th, 2008 at 3:37pm

I've noticed a trend after the beast subsides, wondering if anyone else reacts the same.

When the worst of the pain fades away, I am HUNGRY. And when I say hungry, I mean ravenous. To the point where I could eat an entire 12" pizza on my own.

Is this quasi-normal for anyone else?

I don't know about anyone else but most of the time during the realy bad hits I don't have much of an appitite....BUT afterwards all I want is a 20 oz of med rare, dripping with juice, RED MEAT.

Could be the I crave protien or just the the trex is burning a lot out of my system.

But to answer your question it is normal for me to have my stoughmac trying to digest my backbone after a nasty hit.

Not me. Food is about the last thing on my mind after a bad hit.

Oh, I dunno, after a hit I just call Chuck and he delivers the tube stake.

I guess if your hungry before the hit, your even more hungry after it....Sound good?

I made a thread about this a while back.

I've noticed the same thing, it's like my body yells 'GIVE ME FOOD.' It specifically wants carbs. I don't eat much, I rarely get hungry, so this is odd for me...

Yea, like Acapulco gold, and half a pack of smokes to go.

It could be the lithium, but I’m on a steroid taper and you guys just made me hungry!!!

Rolo. ;D ;) 8-)

I absolutely craved carbs when I was on my steroid taper, especially pizza!

Even after the taper was done, still craved the carbs, and also a cigarette!
