[QUOTE="Cazzy76, post: 2764696, member: 598812"] Hi Lamont Thank you so much again for your wisdom and help here ! Honestly, you are amazingly helpful! - Doctors have been so unhelpful in the past months and I think, yes - it’s about finding out for myself how to deal with this and finding the right fuels that work with my body to feel as better as I can! When I was in the hospital I kept being bombarded with carbohydrates and I would desperately try to explain how ill they were making me. I was then labelled anorexic and mad, which is heartbreaking, as you know this has an impact on how much food affects RH ! There is so much I want to write about this and my experience and I will, unfortunately I am in such a hurry this morning but I wanted you to know how grateful I am for your help and I really hope that I get the tests done, I feel they should happen!? My GP is so helpful and he is in contact with the endo that I saw in the hospital , unfortunately this endo was convinced I had an eating disorder (my GP knows that I don’t) … Anyway , hopefully he will take it seriously now and order some tests that I need ! After researching myself, and with your help I am sure I do have this but it would be nice to get other things ruled out. I feel this is a grieving process - letting go of my oatcakes as they are a comfort eating thing, it is going to be tough but if I feel better after cutting them out it’s onwards and upwards, hopefully () ! ! Yes, I need to find what I am intolerant to. I have issues because of how food also affects my MS symptoms so it will be a tough learning journey but I’ve got to try and stay positive here, I love my boiled eggs but I find when I eat them my blood glucose drops and also my weakness is intensified. Protein is going to be difficult - I also love smoked salmon, (Sainsbury’s do one without the added sugar) but again I have such intense weakness and numbness after I eat it I would be very happy with my protein being salmon and eggs and nuts (I also have the intense weakness and numbness after I eat nuts) - so I need to do a lot of research on foods that work. I haven’t had dairy for so many years now but I am considering eating lactose free cheese for protein and fat . I have problems with eating fat, have you ever heard of the Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis diet? It is a very low fat diet which excludes dairy and egg yolk because of the fat content (according to the diet saturated fat is not good for MS) …. Trial & error for me here, if I am okay with the lactose free cheese then I am happy to eat that protein and fat. Bloods yesterday - Arghhh, typically my sensor run out yesterday afternoon but I have a new one arriving today but here’s what I got from yesterday. I do also have a needle tester but with my ataxia it is difficult to use! 11:27 am - 4.1 (no foods & dizziness & blurred vision) 12.30 pm - 4.6 1 05 pm lettuce 4. 4 1 :35 Soooo dizzy & lightheaded 4.8 I feel very hot & blurry vision 2 pm 4.7 dizzy & bad vision 2:40 pm 4.7 dizzy 3 pm 4 6 dizzy and light headed Eggs 3.45pm 4.2 4pm 3.8 ! Vision & dizzy 4 15 pm 4.6 … this is when my sensor run out I stupidly had some oatcakes and it went up to about 5.8 …. I will post today’s blood results when my new sensor arrives! Sorry , I would love to explain more, but I really have to dash now, thank you again so very much thank you thank you thank you!!! You have been the most help I have had for such a long time, you deserve a medal thank you! And I am so sorry to hear about your wife, that must be so difficult she is lucky to have you as you are so knowledgeable and so helpful!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ [/QUOTE]
