[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1212994, member: 88961"] MissMac to make a reply to a specific post, just click on the Reply button at the bottom of the post you want to reply to, and that does the trick. The others have commented on mood, so I won't go on, but I would make a couple of points, if I may. Bearing in mind that at diagnosis I hadn't had any symptoms , you can imagine how bewildered I felt? That's not putting down anything you're feeling for a minute, just trying to explain it's all very usual. The bewilderment was even worse for my OH, who just kept saying "but you're so healthy!". It didn't help that we were due to go off on a long trip overseas 3 weeks ahead of that, and we both were wondering how that was going o work out. For me, the way I got over that was by doing some home finger-prick testing, which showed me the lab results were correct. There could be no mix up in bloods, because I had pricked my own finger, put the little blob onto the stick and watched the 5 second countdown. When compared with the normal range figures that also helped my OH enormously to get his head around things too. As far as the sweet tooth is concerned, I've never had a massively sweet tooth, and over time that had actually decreased, but you'll be fine. There's loads out there you can have. For example, I spent some of yesterday preparing for an afternoon tea event I'm attending today. Of course, that routinely involves tiny sarnies, mini sausage rolls, cakes, trifles and sweets. For my offering, I made a "normal" Lemon Drizzle cake, for those with no sugar issues, and those who can manage it within their treatment regime, and sugar-free truffles for those of us avoiding sugar. They're chocolate mint and the other lemon and coconut. They're each very rich, very sweet and rather fabulous. I won't be bothered eating too many of those, but I would honestly challenge you to be know these are sugar-free if you didn't know before eating them. There are loads and loads of recipes, websites and ideas out there. Just take it steady. Rome wasn't built in a day, but I bet the bricklayers worked every day towards the end result. You'll be fine, given a little while to get your head around it. [/QUOTE]
