Gayathri,

Read my post on Reactive Hypoglycaemia & ME sent today - trembling

hands is a symptom of this. You will need to have a glucose tolerance

test to prove this or not - see the attached webpage for info on this.

Thanks Andy and Trudy and others who replied on this thread.

I talked to my neurologist- he found my adrenals(by doing muscle

testing) very weak and wanted to take some adrenal glandulars and see

if that helps with my extreme weakness, anxiety and shaking etc.

Trudy,

I read your post where you mentioned that juicing made you feel worse.

I had a big crash this year in March- yet to recover from that..

I have never felt this weak in my entire 13 years of this illness.

I think it might be due to the juicing I incorporated and raw

vegetable diet. I felt hungry all the time, was losing weight and

just crashed terribly. I was juicing mainly vegetables with carrots

for just teh taste.. but these RH posts by Andy makes me think if

that could be the reason I couldn't tolerate the vegetables and

juices alone- i would have needed lots of protein, fat etc.

Thanks guys

take care

Gayathri.

Gayathri,

Sorry to here you ar ein a bad spell. Hopefully there is a

connection between your bad spell and juicing. If it is connected to

RH then juicing is the equivalent of a 1001lb bomb! We just

purchased a juicer the week before Sophies diagnosis and haven't

used it since.

Even good vegetables become bad when juiced.

I have posted a webpage that gives you the good foods to eat - if

you want to try it for a while and see how you get on. If you

improve (even a little bit) you will know that it is at least

agreeing with you.

Good luck.

Andy

Hi Gayathri,

I sure hope that your adrenal supplements help you out. Did your doctor also

test your thyroid? (If not, you might ask him to check that out the next time

you see him.)

That is interesting that you were not able to tolerate the juicing, either. It

looks like we are both going on a similar diet.

Gayathri, did you have problems with your gums bleeding? (...or was that

someone else?) Sorry, I read the post but didn't have time to respond and can't

find it now.

I had a lot of problems with my gums bleeding. I have had a lot of success with

this " Tom's of Maine " toothpaste with propolis and myrrh. I also add a few

drops of Oil of Fennel and Tea Tree Oil when I brush. I also use these little

plastic floss picks, along with doing regular flossing. My dental hygienist

just commented on how nice my gums looked. What an improvement from a few

years ago when I had severe gum disease.

Kind regards,

Trudy

Hi Trudy-

That is a GREAT idea about the fennel and tea tree oil....I never thought about

adding stuff to my toothpaste!! That's so great that you have recovered so

nicely from gum disease. I have noticed over the past year or so, I am really

beginning to have some gum recession. I wonder if that is common with CFIDS?...

Hmmmm.....I switched from Toms to Waleda toothpaste a while ago as the Waleda is

flouride, harsh chemical and mint free (homeopathy). I too had some bleeding

gum issues with the Toms and in my case, I think it was due to the SLS that they

use in their products. I am SO sensitive to it and other preservatives that it

limits so many products that I can safely use as it all adds up to the total

load!
