Ehh... this would make sense except that it's a recent thing. For the
first few months, I
did fine. Now I am running into this.
I partly want to blame it on the BCPs!! But I think that could be
psychological. :-)
I THINK the BCPs will give me cravings, therefore, they will/do! But,
who knows...
whatever the reason, the cravings are definitely there.
