Malaise: If your symptoms persist beyond today, contact your physician for a comprehensive exam. You may just be overworked, tired and "drained". Also could be dehydration. Start to drink lots of water to rehydrate, not coffee or soda, which will cause you to dehydrate. No salt. If you are a student (age 20), take the night off from studying and relax, then hit the books again tomorrow! rest and rest!

CFS or fibromyalgia: Cfs, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia patients often suffer from drained feeling and lack of energy. I have seen patients with altered taste sensation, but may be more anecdotal and not be a factor for diagnosis. Judging from "still have a weird chalky…", i assume you've had this condition for a while. Please continue diagnostic process with your doctor(s) to narrow down diagnoses.
