[QUOTE="WhitbyJet, post: 235735, member: 35964"] Knopfler welcome to the forum from me too . I think you have made some pretty good decisions in reducing carb intake and getting hold me a meter. You night also want to get yourself a carb counting book something like Collins Gem Carb Counter. I note that you have a real struggle with nerves. Panic attacks are most definitely scary each and every time you have one me those you think you are going to die. Then afterwards you are surprised to find that you survived and already you start worrying about the next panic attack coming along. I suffered with disabling panic attacks for a couple me years after the birth of my second child. So much energy spent on trying to deal with the panics. But eventually I worked out how to lose the fear of these panic attacks instead of adding fear to fear and making things worse. I read the books by Dr Clare Weekes. I read many books but hers are written in such a style that you think she is sitting right these with you helping you through. She describes how to face a panic attack how to just sit there and let it wash over you to let it do its worst to you. I reached the stage where I was willing to try it I didn't enjoy life very much anyway pm he there came a panic attack to see me off then so be it. My lovely ever so patient and supportive husband helped to talk me through am actual panic attack it was murder I couldn't breathe he encouraged me to relax and slowly breathe in and out me a paper bag. I was hyperventilating me course but I die my best to relax and sure enough the panic left me. I felt so reassured by thisi If I could do it once then I could try this again and maybe manage even better next time. And so gradually I became more confident and lost the fear of panic and so they stopped coming along. Drinking so much alcohol is not the best thing that you can do as Viv pointed out already. It would best if you drank a bit of wine for enjoyment instead as a remedy for panic attacks. If you should need any help with those panic attacks get in touch with me. All the best [/QUOTE]
