[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 412435, member: 35964"] Yes,the dreaded carb crash, hit me hard at the time, I was actually already very ill when I started to cut out all carbs, I went zero carb, not low carb and to be honest I did question whether I was really doing the right thing there. I was lucky though in that I had plenty of back up from a Swedish doctor (my mother in law's GP), things gradually improved after the second week. My main symptoms were nausea, anxiety, headaches, fatigue, I couldnt be sure that it was due to lc or diabetic complications, I had weekly blood tests to monitor electrolytes, mainly because of poor kidney function, test revealed an improvement on all levels yet I continued to feel quite ill. The pain from neuropathy was something else, I never experienced pain before, I had tingling and numbness, but suddenly I had stabbing pains as if someone was twisting a knife into my feet, the pain would peak then subside only to start up again, it came in waves. I found that drinking soothing herbal/fruit teas helped with most of my symptoms, soak feet in warm water with sodium bicarb added, massaged with aromatherapy oils, some may scoff at this kind of therapy but I found it to be helpful [url=http://www.aromatherapyessentialoilsguide.com/essential-oils-for-nerve-pain.html]http://www.aromatherapyessentialoilsgui ... -pain.html[/url]. My recovery was a gradual process, my kidney function will never be 100%, I still have a few numb spots on my feet, but they dont affect me in any way, I just know that they are there. [/QUOTE]
