Do you eat more while flaring?

Hi Robin,

I don't tend to eat more while I'm going through this upcoming season of increased flaring weather, what I tend to do is try to eat things that will help me feel better in the longrun and hopefully in the shortrun too.

I do sometime tend to eat comforting foods when I am going through a flare, however I have also noticed that sometimes if the flare is severe enough I get nauseated and find it difficult to eat. I think it is diffrent for everyone and may also depend on the severity of the pain your in. I wouldn't worry about it too much it almost seems like there are cycles with having fibro and eating may be apart of it. I don't know for sure but I do find it facinating that depending on the type of flare or the pain that I have does have a effect on not only what I eat but how often as well. Maybe that's what your going through. It would be nice to find out how many people go through this so that we may beable to figure out if it truely is fibro related!

I notice that I crave breads and sweets when I am hit hard with fatigue. I think it is my body desperate for energy. Since "coming down" with this, I do not worry about things like whether or not I am eating a snack and it is past ten pm or if I gaind a lb this week...That pudding sure did sound good....I have been craving cake....
