Pascal answered Friday December 5 2008, 12:04 am: It actually sounds like a nutrient deficiency. Offhand I would hazard a guess at the B Vitamins. Deficiencies in these can make you have odd cravings and be very tired. Another symptom here is chapped lips. As for the onions, I'm not sure.
I would check with a doctor, because those are odd symptoms that you shouldn't just dismiss. Also, check with a doctor before taking any vitamin supplements, because you want to make sure you're getting the right ones and not overdosing on anything.

What do you work as?
Could it be body odour?
It still could be something you're eating - even if it's not onions.
You need to pinpoint the cause by chatting in confidence with your doc.. cos we won't be able to. The info you've provided is also quite useless.. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
