[Closed] No appetite

I had some kind of virus a couple of weeks back, really painful in all my joints and muscles, plus headaches and no desire to eat. Well I've got over it now but still have next to no appetite, I could do with losing a few pounds so its no bad thing in the short term but in the long term not. My doctor seems disinterested and pointed out I could lose some pounds, as she's a bit of a biffer and I'm probably 6 pounds over weight I was thinking pot and kettle! But has anyone had this and how long before their appetite came back???? Probably only eaten three real meals in a week and a half.
