If anyone is interested, my lack of appetite for life was a result of a new dosage of medication. I'd been on these meds at 3mg per day for three weeks, until the day I was flying to the USA, when they upped the dosage to 7mg. I actually rang the surgery from Heathrow to check, but a step-up like this is apparently normal protocol.
On my return, I spoke to the surgery and explained how I was feeling and that there seemed to be a direct connection to this increased dosage. They took me off them immediately, and gave me a week off, before starting me (and keeping me) on 3mg. I felt back to normal within 24hrs. I have instructions to stop taking the 3mg dose if I experience any similar symptoms (I haven't - and I'm a week into the new regime).
So - that's what fucked up three weeks in California - bad meds...
Actually, I'm pretty sure I had a sinus infection too, at some stage.
Happy to report, my appetite has returned...
