Day Three Hypo: Sweet and Sour sauce and headaches.

[Guest guest]

Please do not assume that I'm getting headaches from Sweet and sour

sauce.

Last night I made box chicken in the oven for my family, and cooked

up some beef (a little boneless strip of something I can't

remember.) I fried it in Olive oil after battering it in flour.

Halfway done, I rebattered it and did it again. Still that dang

chicken with it's yummy spices were beckoning me, so I took an

orange, juiced it, as well as 1/2 tomato. I added molassess, brown

sugar, 1 tsp vingar, 1/4t or so ginger, 1/4 or so garlic powder, some

plain salt and a little too much cornstarch, and simmered it,

stirring constantly. It was heavenly. NO FRIED CHICKEN FOR ME!!!

My picky husband came home from a chemistry study group and tried it

and loved it! Thought I would share that with you! I refrigerated

the leftovers of it in a wide mouthed salad dressing bottle.

So I can say with confidence: " I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM. I

HAVE A LID, SAM-I-AM "

I got rid of that cold I was coming down with. Happy day! The

stress of preparing for the unknown hypo has been worse so far with

any hypo experience I've had (only day 3 remember?) However, I do

have headaches from time to time. Nasty ones. I got them in October

every day. (surgury in SEPT.) My endo told me that it was probably

the stress, and yet when I switched to Cytomel they quit. Well

Monday they started again. I am taking the occasional tylenol (2)

and drinking black coffee, which helps, as well as my rice bag. (If

you don't have one, make one when you're not hypo. . .or buy one.

It's just part of a hand towel, maybe half, filled with rice, sewn

shut. Throw it in the microwave for about a minute and place it

against your head, or neck, or cold feet, or sore shoulder, OR

colicky baby (what mine was originally used for.)

thanks for " listening " ,

I hate to be a stick in the mud, but as I am on this LID also here

goes - based on the thyca.org cookbook molasses is disallowed, and as

such, brown sugar would be taboo as well. I know everyone seems to

have their own standards, but thought I'd point out what my LID

contradicts.

Good Luck,

Gloria,

I will be 29 this next January and I was born in Biloxi, Miss.

where my dad was stationed. My family is from the Spokane area and I

have had many comments from people about the Hanford thing, but when

I asked my doctor, since I didn't live down there, he doesn't believe

there's a connection. I would love to see a map with colored dots

that represent the length of stay for Thyca's during their lives.

(Different colors would represent different length of time.)

However, I'm a bit tired today, so I won't be contacting every Thyca

patient today nor probably tomorrow. The map will have to wait and

be compiled by somebody else.
