That was exactly like I was. I was slurrig, so very weak, kidneys were about

to

shut down I found out later. this is nothing to take litely. If you do

not

call the Dr after all the advice here I am afraid you will get into real

trouble.

I did not have anyone not anyone telling me or advising me what to do.

So please listen and call the Dr. Do not make light of this to him. If he

fluffs

you off call your PCP. You should atTHE VERY LEAST have a BLOOD TEST.

When I dehydrated the hospital got a needle into me without any problem.

Well,

they did call their BEST poker in cause I insisted. LoL. It took alot of

potassium water or watever it was to get me back up to normal. So my advice

AGAIN is do not wait. I think they gave me 8-10 packets. It took 5 days to

get

me back there. karen in Pa.

Re: In California - Feeling Better

- I know very little about protein drinks, but

someone on

ObesityHelp.com said that GNC has some sugarfree drinks

that are

kind

of

like gatorade. I believe they are called Isopure or

something

like

that.

Maybe this would work until you get back your taste for

the other

stuff you

have.
