Message: <blockquote data-quote="EllieM" data-source="post: 2494725" data-attributes="member: 372717">How high do the ketones go?  My (limited) understanding is that ketones in themselves aren't necessarily dangerous, folk on a keto diet have them much higher than 1 without issue.   Are they making you feel queasy though?   (and hence suppressing appetite.)But I agree that I would be really concerned about the weight loss too.  You mention hypothyroidism in an earlier post. Are you confident that your thyroid medication is correct.  Have you tried eating more? (Snacks between meals etc).What did the cancer nurse have to say?  Have you had cancer previously?  (I can't quite see what a remote conversation would do without a previous cancer diagnosis but I am not a doctor).Then I guess long covid is the possible elephant in the room, and people just don't know much about it yet.   But on the other hand most people do recover from it (eventually), so in that case you might have to be patient.Sorry to have so many questions and so few answers. Lots of virtual hugs.</blockquote>
