*Good news-- thanks to also eating a lot of benedryls, my severe allergy reaction is subsiding. This is important to eating, because it severely diminishes my appetite. Some might think that is a blessing, but its not. The only problem I currently have with the actual volume of food I eat, is that sometimes I undereat-- in terms of calories, but also nutrients. When my system is inflammed and full of ...congestion, it makes it hard to have the appetite that drives me to be prepared and eat healthy flavorful foods. Instead, I put off preparing/eating until only convenient choices are an option, and furthermore I gravitate toward bland fatty comfort foods. At this time last year (you think I'd learn) I remember only wanting to eat mashed potatoes with butter, and sending my nutritionist a frantic email about that, since its a terrible food choice for me. So appetite= good.
