Difficulties.

Nausea, exhaustion, pains here there and everywhere.  Okay.

Causes?  What should be asked, if going to a doctor with new problems?  What... have you been eating?  Any changes?  Back when doctors actually looked for solutions, that was the first question.  Today they just skip to exploring the symptoms and looking for medication(s) to treat that.  Your health... isn't important, and doesn't pay well enough to consider.

So... I thought about it.  Ah.  I have recently, just days ago really, gone completely carnivore.  So, I went looking.  And, sure enough, just as with keto flu, there are... issues when going carnivore.  Everything listed, and more, potentially.  I'm probably not suffering as severely because I was nearly carnivore, and have been for a while.  Just... not completely enough.

Blood sugar went up, again, to 162?  I haven't had a thing since the steak.  I wanted to eat more, but nausea is saying "no".  Nothing sounds good either.  I'm not hungry, I just... thought more food would be good.  But, no.

No work has been done.  I just can't.  Not now, not today probably.  Tomorrow?  I can hope.  I did quite a lot yesterday.  I may have pushed.  Plus with what is happening from my diet, I suppose I needed a break.  Hoping to get to things tomorrow.  Or the day after.

This was happening a bit yesterday.  And, then as now, I do want... something.  Since meat is out, and I don't eat else, that leaves drink.  One fatted coffee today, but that's it, like yesterday.  It's adding to nausea, and the thought of it is nauseating.  So, no.  But what I did have yesterday that was satisfying, was a vinegar tonic.  With vinegar, carbonated water, and electrolyte powder that passes both the keto and carnivore tests.  No sugar/carbs, no to a lot of other things.

One of the things that was suggested, was cutting supplements.  The reason I probably won't?  Is because I am taking rather heavy-duty waterpills.  They completely drain my system.  And, they take minerals and other things with the flow.  I need to replace, so I do.  Otherwise I get serious leg, arm, even torso cramps.  Muscles seize, harshly, horribly, continually.

So, yeah.  No, I'll take my supplements.  Plus, I'll have the vinegar tonic.  It adds bulk to my stomach without adding fat.  Which I think is part of the problem.  Tricky widget, trying to eat healthily, well, the right amount, and else, while on serious heart medication, and for me, in the cool as winter drops.  Still, I'll... do what I can.

I am excited to finally be pushing through into a diet I am more sure will work.  Keto just... couldn't quite do it.  The sweetener didn't help, but the carbs... that was just too slippery of a slope.  To watch my blood sugar drop around 75 points, and not bounce back, after a day and a half?  That's... something.  Even medication, insulin, two types at once, didn't help.

The body hurts.  Nausea sucks.  But... I... like the results.  I am hoping, with the sweetener gone, that I begin losing weight again.  That sort of hung.  We'll see.  Later?  No, goodnight.  A few painpills with the tonic.  Yeah.  That may help.  Have a great day.  Hope you made it to church.  If not, at least do some prayer time.  It's... all I can do, some days.  Be well.
