2nd Day - Awesome Change!!!

Hello all,

I am on my 2nd day of 7 day fast. First day was a bit difficult because I was so tempted to eat. I had 6 cups of warm water from 8am to 3:30pm, but had no desire for more afterwards. I was very cold so I turned up the heat and wrapped myself with extra layers. Now, I can bear cold, but this type of internal cold feeling is so hard to handle. I am doing this fast because I am having joint and muscle pain in my left thigh, left knee, left hip and occassionally in my left calf. I had seen my doctor for this issue and he has given me four shots of Calcium-Magnesium and one shot of Vitamin B12 in two weeks span. This helped a little bit and I did Epsom Salt baths which also helped me a lot, but the pain returned.

The amazing part of my journey is that one day of water fasting has made my joints work so much better. It feels like some cushion has been added to my joints. This has happened in my previuos fasts too. However, my left thigh and hip are still sore. This problem returns after I re-feed. I think my diet needs to change.

Weight before fast - 167lbs
Weight after one day - 165lbs

Urine is clear, light yellow

Tongue is still pink

I had one bowel movement

Left nostril has severe post nasal drip. (can I put castor/garlic oil in my nose?)

Sorry about a long post.

Thank you all.
