Is there usually weight loss associated with a flu like illness?
I was recently told at the doctor’s that I had "flu like symptoms." In the past when I have been sick, I have usually lost several poulds. Was my weight loss a symptom of being sick, or did I lose weight for other reasons? If it was a result of being sick, does it cause weight loss in terms of Muscle, or fat, or both?
Some illness can actually cause you to lose weight for there are instances you lose your appetite or some illness can affect some of your organs or even your metabolism.
