Normally I am pretty stellar when it comes to listening to my body.
I try to eat what I crave, I pay attention to symptom changes and differences in pain levels in various areas... But tonight? Tonight I tried to fight through a recently consistent symptom.
I have had a majorly decreased appetite for the last three weeks... And every second week before that depending on medication schedules.
The dilemma is that I always need to make sure I am eating enough so that my body stays as strong as possible. So tonight I pushed through my lack of appetite and made sure I ate enough.
My body didn't really care what I thought. It didn't want food. So it repelled it shortly after having it forced into my system.
Moral: sometimes symptoms are simple side effects from medications that need to be assessed and dealt with accordingly. And SOMETIMES - don't screw with the symptoms.
It's virtually impossible to tell the difference but damn did I ever learn not to screw with the lack of appetite for the moment.
Brutal!
Sorry body!
