Oh my, I can not imagine how horrible it must be to take oil to get the labor going. I don't mind the vomiting so much as the cold sweat and shaking. I did pass a lot of stones the first time despite the vomiting and have had some health issues helped so I guess it's worth it.
Last night I didn't sleep well (should have had the orthine) and woke up right before I started to sweat so I was able to wait it out and figure out what exactly was happening. Suddenly, as I got shaky and hot feeling, I realised that my blood
Sugar was plumeting. I had no coke, no candy and no
Sugar in the house. The only thing I could think of that was sweet was some grapes. I chewed three, sucking on the juice and spitting out the rest as I wasn't sure what eating would do to me while in the middle of the flush. Unfortunatly it was too little too late. I hit the bottom with the
Sugar and at that point I actually felt my liver contract which sent me running to the bathroom. At the same time as I sat on the toilet I threw up. Only about half this time. Passed a lot of tiny stones and what I think is called chaff.
So now I could care less that I vomit. I am worried about the blood sugar thing. It had been about a year and a half since I had that happen. I honestly thought that I was cured. This happened a lot while I was pregnant. I had gone on the Atkins diet and worked myself up to a fairly balanced diet.
I'm not sure why my blood sugar plummets right at about the time that my liver contracts. I thought it was the pancreas that controlled the blood sugar. In any case I will need to modify this flush, maybe lessening the amount so that I don't have to take as much grapefruit juice. I won't be doing this again for another month and during that time I am going to drop coffee. It's the only thing I can think of that I has wood alchol in it. ::sigh:: I'm not even sure I have the will power to do without coffee. I've droped it several times and always wound up drinking it again. So I'm down to water now. No juice, no milk, no coffee, no cokes. I'm also going to try out some herbs that Dr Hulda recommends. And I will be going back on my Atkins diet. So lots of meat and veggies, some fruit, no sugar. I'll stay away from the packaged diet foods just in case. I guess this is the price you pay for being a junk food addict for ten years.
Take care everyone and thanks for all the great advice and concern,
Lisa
Ps. I intend on opening another thread on the blood sugar issue some time soon since I am surely not the only one this has happened to.
