Guest guest Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 - Thanks for your post. I thought the information regarding your nephew was interesting - so helpful. You must be really tired - but don't you deal with kids all the time? You must be really REALLY tired! No one asked how you are doing - are you feeling any better? I am just learning to listen to my body when it tells me to slow down - especially as I taper off meds (I think Marie asked about this) ... for me paying attention to my, er, broader digestive process is the most important thing. I find that if I'm craving all simple carbohydrates (candy, fruit, refined flours) that I'm probably not okay. And feeling bloated but still hungry, and irregular or odd bowels, and " growlies " in my stomach are all bad. That and feeling *more* tired than usual - there's that telltale listless feeling, kind of like the flu, but worse, not even being able to make it through a tv show or magazine article without stopping all the time. Fortunately - recently, at least - most of this doesn't last for more than a day or two and I can trace it to a particularly stressful event (ie a fight at work) or to 2-3 days in a row of REALLY bad eating habits or getting no sleep. I don't know that it would work for you but generally if I can, I just give in and sleep for a whole weekend, eat a lot of vegetables and try to get some good protein, and then see how things go. You should get bloodwork done! Shirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
