Cold? Flu? out of the blue

I just got my voucher too; they are also being done at nearby pharmacies. Definitely going.

I'm at least borderline anorexic, for the first time in my life. I've never had an eating disorder (only food allergies). I also lost several kilos and dropped at least 2 or 3 jeans sizes. The ones I had are falling off me, and all but a couple are being washed and bundled up to a nearby charity shop.

Kept a couple just in case, but I doubt I'll put all the weight I lost on again.

Is it not time you went to the doctor lagatta?

There are some interesting and unique birdhouses and you have given me some ideas for a Christmas gift! They do have at least 4 birdhouses placed around their yard currently but some of these look interesting that they would probably enjoy adding.

Growing up, I remember there always being a bird guide book on a side table in our home, it was well used.

I agree with Mick and Bixa Lagatta and am concerned that you have not seen your doctor? I hope that COVID has not prevented you from obtaining an appointment? My father was able to finally have his doctor contact him by phone yesterday, assessed him and prescribed a puffer and antibiotics. I hope you contact your doctor, at least have a physical and blood work?

Yes, Lagatta, what the others said. I remember my former GP telling me that if I ever lose weight rapidly and without trying there is a problem and to go and see him.

One thing that Lagatta needs to do is to get over her sugar phobia. Sugar is pure energy. (Yes, it also has a number of negative sides, but it does provide an immediate boost to the system.)

This is of course relatively unscientific advice, but I will maintain it for the time being.

Mich, good news about your dad being prescribed some relief. The puffer should help him feel more energetic and the antibiotics should wipe out the throat tear and anything related to it.

Just read an article that said loss of appetite and weight loss could be down to a lack of zinc.
