[QUOTE="DionneT, post: 1754131, member: 468501"] Hello, I just wanted to second Lamont D's suggestion of fasting - I have done several 24 hour fasts recently and feel fantastic in the final few hours. I get a glimpse of the old me - sharp mental focus, abundant physical energy and a sense of calm. Shame that I have to resume eating again! I think fasting is relatively easy after eating a ketogenic diet for almost a year, the hunger pangs are brief and mild, whereas my old carb-eating self would have been struggling after a few hours. Although as someone who also gets the ascending numbness after carbs, I will say that fasting seems to decrease my carb tolerance slightly- a meal that would usually cause no problems can trigger symptoms, so my first meal has to be small and very low carb. Sorry I only just noticed you had created this new thread, I posted yesterday on the old one. It's fascinating to see more detail on your medical history. I also have had recurrent issues with sinusitis that has dramatically improved since reducing carb intake. Can I ask how does your connective tissue inelasticity manifest? I get very tight feeling hands, like the skin temporarily becomes thick, and stiffness of joints, with muscle spasms that move up my body travelling the same path as the numbness. Best wishes, Dionne [/QUOTE]
