I am not one to eat sweets. I always turned down cakes and other yummy things ... but now I seem to crave sugar!!! Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know why?
I would mention it to the doctor. I did not crave sweets but salt and found that it was a symptom of a different health problem.
Interesting! I have always craved sweets but lately I feel out of control with my sugar cravings! I eat sometime up to four packs of M&M’s in a day and still crave more, whether it be cookies, cake, pie or candy! Maybe I should bring it to my doctors attention. I knew it was a problem but never thought of it being an actual health issue causing these out of control cravings. Thanks for bringing this subject up for discussion!

Hi Ibsain,
What an interesting question! And my answer is YES! Of course, I always have BUT I also was told that once I started taking Nortriptyline, I'd start craving chocolate. Yup!!! So I'm wondering if your cravings may be related to the meds that you take. If I were you, I'd look up side effects of each of your meds, to see if this is listed. If not, you can call your doctor and ask him or her about this.
I hope you can find a way to contain you urges because it's not fun to put on weight due to the drugs we take.
Hugs,
Petunia
I crave sugar/chocolate ALL THE TIME! Thank you for bringing this up! I’m seeing my doctor soon and will ask her about this!

It is funny you all mention Chocolate... That is what I have been craving... I even baked a devils food cake and put the frosting on it.. and I do not like frosting... Hershey kisses... I cannot get enough of those things either. I go to my Dr. tomorrow and will bring up this oddity. I have to fight this desire to indulge it is way out of my normal. My Husband is a chocolate lover and he keeps a stash at all times. I never got into his stash... never wanted to... but now he has to hide it from me...LOL
You mentioned Migraines... on the 4th we went to the lake and I ate a hersheys with almonds and wound up with a very BAD migraine...I had clenched my jaw for so long it still hurts to this day...my teeth hurt...Dr told me today that the injections are what is causing me to crave the chocolate...and he said I needed to stop that now...lol... well ok then. He said these injections make you hungry... I was like well I am hungry for chocolate!!! I like my Rheumy ...he makes me laugh.
