[QUOTE="togram, post: 1889406, member: 213735"] Hi, I'm not usually shy but I've been reading forums for some time; possibly stalking! My practice nurse was happy to tell me my weight was down 18 kg & cholesterol results were good. I upset them by telling that was really good because I was on lchf & stopped taking statins 6 months ago. Fast forward a year.. sadly I developed cellulitis then lymphodeama and was massively swollen, couldn't lift my legs and couldn't get into bed. I was denied lymphodeama clinic appointment due to massive BMI & I didn't have cancer! I began falling asleep walking and was hallucinating. Eventually I hurt myself falling and my oxygen levels were extremely low. I was whizzed to HDU and placed on non invasive ventilator. 4 months on I have lost 42 kg against nurses advice. I stay awake all day and no longer hallucinate. My diagnosis is secondary respiratory failure. I had eaten myself to near death! I am on oxygen 24/7 & use BIPAP overnight. I still have a lot of weight to lose & am starting monitoring blood on Monday. Previously I had so many medical problems I couldnt motivate myself wholeheartedly to any structured way of living. I've tackled things one at a time. Seeing the postings about NHS churning out their outdated advice made me post as I am now literally LIVING proof that lchf really does work. I think I may now stop stalking and take part. Thanks for the posts which have helped enormously. xx [/QUOTE]
