Oh, I'm so sorry to hear the rat problem hasn't been resolved. It seems that you're going to have to take things further, Maureen, to get it sorted once and for all. Why not do it now, when you have your friend around for some support?
I hope you have a lovely time in London.
Big hugs xx

@eldergarth - Hi Ron, sorry to hear about your diagnoses from Neurology. Let's hope you don't have to wait too long for your Scans. As Vicky has said- the sooner they are done the sooner you can start treatment.

 

[maureen5752]

Hi all back from my neurology appointment and the early diagnosis is MS and now awaiting appointment for brain scan to confirm and also doc is requesting a scan of my spinal cord as thinks there is problems with the central nerve
Thanks to all for your continued support and help

Good luck with your scan. Hope all goes well, my first husband had MS & my friend has it, let's hope doctors wrong, take care will be thinking of you. (Hugs)

Thanks, going to get my passport, maybe Sunday we both meet him & give final warning but don't think it will do any good, getting load of verbal abuse, calls, txts, I'm looking over my shoulder all time & checking caller display, this has got to stop I'm so stressed, few friends have offered to get their leather boots out of the cupboard ! My friend suggested going back with her for a break but dhe goes from London, Birmingham is best for me cos of return. Anyway hope your well, you've been posting some lovely pics recently, is it your grandchild? Great pic

Hi @tina_marie - Some days the Arthritic Pain is bearable and other days it just never seems to settle, moaning about it is not going to take it away or make it stop. I just have to keep plodding onwards. I have now been on Steriod Tablets nearly 3 weeks and they have done nothing positive for pain relief, I have only suffered some of the side effects - that are not nice.
I had a Ultrasound Abdominal Scan on 30th June and a MRI Liver Scan on 27th July, so I don't think Ron will have too long a wait for his? (Hope not) But, he is another step forward to receiving the treatment. You also have to look after yourself and keep your strength up. We are all here for You and Ron - hope you both have a lovely weekend. William x

Maureen, my lovely, I hear what you're saying, but I agree that another final warning probably won't do any good. People like him thrive on that. What he's doing is totally against the law and the police would jump on him from a great height. He could - with a bit of luck - end up being sent away for a long time, especially as this isn't the first time he's done this to you. Please, Maureen - let 'em have him. We're all getting distressed on your behalf!
Thanks for your kind comments about the photies. Yes, this one is No. 1 granddaughter, Lexi, taken by her mum when we were horsing around in my garden a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you , you have all been wonderful with your support , Ron and I are really grateful to you all . I'm remaining positive about the outcome from the scan as we don't yet know for sure it is MS . The signs and symptoms also cover other illnesses to. If it does happen to be so then we will face it head on just like we have with everything else . As for me well cant grumble , I'm here for Ron and anyone else that needs a hug or shoulder to cry on or just to let of steam to. Love to everyone . Xxx

So no ALA and lower bgs whilst having fun and relaxing.
I've always known stress is a killer.
Any plans to have some long weekends to emulate your good levels once home?

Well, I am told I m going to have to relax for several days after an arthroscopy on my knee, and then for 6 weeks after they've replaced it.

Do these count?

Thanks William been a big shock to system but will see what the scan comes back with .
Hope you are not suffering to much with your arthritis and you are getting the treatment you need

Stressed out with very high ketone level result found yesterday :/
My evening was a horror story of searching on internet of DKA. Scary stuff.
But I was a fool, doing that - only adding stress to my system.
As a result, BGL rose quite significantly and waking up today with 6.1 :'(
Duh, back to where I was again.
But I am not seeing this as a failure.
I try to remind myself it is a marathon rather than a sprint.
Thank you for your encouragement Debra!

There's so much to learn and this is just my second month
I want a huge bowl of chocolate ice cream with double choco sauce on it!
Yum!

*cries*

I'm sure Debra @debrasue will be along soon.
You can have your treat. Low carb choc sauce is melted 90%choc and double cream sweetened with stevia sprinkles from morrisons. Same sauce added to vanilla Oppo ice cream. Nothing is impossible hun.
Obviously easier if already in fridge/freezer at home.
You are doing brilliantly. How did you measure your ketones?

 

[eddie1968]

Morning. FBG 10.8 mmol/l and don't know the cause of that, will retest in 30 mins in case it's an error. Dull and cool here. Got plenty to do today. My chest infection has shifted. Can't wait for the next pathogens lol.

You can have it, honey! But it's worth remembering that, if you give in to a craving for the real stuff, you'll set up an even greater craving for more. But, as @ickihun says, there are substitutes for pretty much anything. (I've not found one for white bread yet, but I'm still persevering!)
There are some great icecream recipes here (including chocolate!):

You may not necessarily have to give up rice entirely, either. Many people, myself included, find we can tolerate a little wholemeal, brown or wild rice (in my case, up to 125g doesn't spike me if eaten with a medium to high-fat meal). I wouldn't do it every day, but it might be worth you trying a little and then testing 1 and 2 hours later, to see the results...
Browse the net for low-carb recipes, read the Food, Nutrition and Recipes forum on this site, experiment, and enjoy!
(And don't forget to share your success stories with the rest of us!)

@eldergarth out of curiosity; do you have attacks after low carb food?
When I went TOO low carb my nerves were on edge and shaky but not a hypo.
I know your specialist knows best, believe me but I just thought in the interim low carb is only helpful for eye vessel damage. MS people need a different diet. Have you or @tina_marie looked at those?

 

[ickihun]

@debrasue in bed maker use almond flour or seseme flour instead of wheat flour for white bread.
Paleo diet books are an interesting read.
I just carnt afford the expensive ingredients! Huff! :-(

Hey!!! That's a brilliant idea, Vicky - I'm going to give that a try, thank you!

Hi Vicky not had any attacks on low carbs after eating most of my hypos now happen in my sleep will be having a chat with my DN on Tuesday ( hba1c results day ) to see if any changes needed plus think my meds need changing with all these hypos been having lately
