Re: I feel like I am DYING!

Thank you SO much I am so very thankful for the help. I feel very fortunate to have had you all reply to me!

I wanted to give a little more info on me and what I have been doing.

Late last year I lost 30 pounds on VERY low carb. (still have about 70 I want to lose). I have a love hate relationship with LC. It really took care of all my junk food cravings (still to this day, no more cravings for sugar) but I just never had any energy.

I did have a couple of wonderful things happen.. I got rid of bad excema on my legs (had this for a couple of years) am pretty sure now it was a gluten allergy. Also got rid of the dark ring around my neck (acanthosis nigricans).. which I have read can be a symptom of insulin resistance.

I was borderline diabetic, now my sugars are back in the normal range.

I just knew instinctively it was time to quit.. I live in Orlando, right in the middle of a bunch of orange groves and missed the fruit so much and as it came more into season I had to have the citrus.

A friend who is veggie mentioned that a juice fast would help me lose more weight.

I went to wholefoods and got lost of organic veggies and a few fruits and stopped by one of our citrus places by the house and bought lots of grapefruit, oranges and clementines.

I have been just having mostly juice, with a veggie soup I made for something warm.
I did end up “going off” last night and ate a handful of triscuits and an Amy’s organic black bean enchilada meal (no dairy) with beans and rice AND later a roasted sweet potato.

I think I could have hung on if I really knew it was normal to feel that bad, but I have NEVER had such a headache. It also hurt halfway down my spine.

MH, I am reading your book right now.. I have saved the pdf to my desktop. I have Epsom salts (do the bath pretty often) and will give that a go this afternoon.

I am very into herbs.. right now I have valerian and kava I take occasionally to help me sleep well, I am looking up your spray 1 you mentioned.

VeryGnawty..
Thank you so much for the post…
The fact that your headache lasted so long really frightens me. Did you just stay in bed for days? I am very fortunate to have a home based business, I guess I will just do whatever it takes. Hopefully the spray MH mentions will help..

I have been addicted to diet cokes for many, many years. I also drink lots of tea. I am not a huge coffee drinker (anymore) but drank espresso every AM for a couple of years until last summer.

It helps me to know that this is ok to feel so horrid.
Your post was a very powerful one and it really resonated with me.

Off to read more, I am sure I will have many questions..
One quick one..

What about White Willow Bark for pain? Is it ok?
