Hi a, sorry you have been through so much lately also!! It's a pain in

the ......

I'm mostly a vegan but not because of choice, I just don't like meat. I can

eat a little fish but that's about all. My biggest problem is with carbs.

I just love pizza, pasta, popcorn, chips, etc... So I have started buying

more fresh veges and eating at least one salad a day. Not much on fruits

either but love those doughnuts, LOL!

Good luck with your diet! Have you ever just tried a plain ole benadryl

before going to bed? Sometimes that helps me better than anything. I have

stopped taking ultracet because I was getting sick to my stomach

Narcotics also have the same effect on me.

I have two kids, one is 16 and the other 5. Can you believe that my 5 yo

son helps me out alot more than the teenager??? Everything is not fair for

her right now, LOL! I just keep telling her to wait until she gets older.

Hugs,

Sherri
