High carb nearly toasted me

[Guest guest]

Sigh ... the doc had me on a low fat high carb diet, after this latest round of

tests and biopsy etc ... OMG, I thought i was going to die. I had emotional

rages (haven't had the like for years) and crashed, with headach and then

nausea. I was drained of energy and in pain .. it was awful.

I was supposed to have steady but controlled input of complex carbohydrates

.... I followed his instructions to the letter. I went nuts, and was soo ill.

I have for the past two days gone back to the high protein low carb thing,

controlling calories but keeping carbs to a min, all the leafy greens i can

pack in essentially and other veggies but watching " frivolous " fat and etc...

Wow, it is like i'm coming back to life. So disheartening to have the

instructions the medical people give you feel like they are harming you

I cannot eat a high dose of carbs. Someone keep reminding me of that, this is

definitive. I only ate low glycemic things, except for the juice he suggested

before exercise ... i was throwing up hard after exercise (and it was gentle),

then i got headache and wild mood. UGH.

So, for me only high protein and some fats, with limited carbs ...

Also, the pain is usually controlled by rest and yoga and meditation, as well

as T3's (i'm lucky, they work well for me) but right now it is rather bad ...

kind of intruding on everything. Most of you (sadly) know what i mean, i think

I need to remember to have patience and this will all subside, given time ...

Just is not fun, i work full time and have small kids, and as we all know mom's

not allowed to take any time out without guilt ...

thanks for being here

,

You need to take time out for you, because if you don't, then you will

most likely be worse off than if you didn't. Your family may be too

young to understand the details of mito, but they do need to understand

that if Mommy doesn't rest, she will get sick. As hard as it may be,

you must take control of what you do and how much of it you do, because

if you don't, you body will tell you just the the high carb diet told

you, STOP!!! I hope you don't think I am being too harsh, but it is a

lesson we have all had to learn at some point.

I hope you continue to feel better now that you are back on your high

protein diet.

I have three kids, 9, 5, and 2, and they all have been indoctrinated

in the " Mommy needs to rest " club. The oldest one will carry the

baby for me, and both of my older ones have helped me take my shoes

off. My daughter asks sometimes " Mommy, are you okay? " when I am

having a slow time of it.

My husband is extremely helpful, and both he and I know that if I

don't get rest when I need it, I won't be around to help him out at

all.

Remember if you get worse symptoms, you won't have the choice of how

and when to get rest. Don't make a doctor or hospital force you to

rest from an incident. Your kids will be better people if they learn

early to deal with differences in abilities - I know my kids are. W-

A-I-T and EASY DOES IT are good lessons to learn at any age.

Just my $0.02,
