losing weight

[dominosarah]

Im trying really hard to eat but just cant seem to swallow.  Didnt sleep worth a **** last night so finally got up at 3:30 a.m. and decided to read.  I had that creepy crawly skin thing going on.  Legs arent as heavy today.  The best part is getting up in the morning not in a fog even tho i feel awful.  Oh i did try the steak thing and all i could do was suck the juice out but at least it was something.  Still faithfully taking the vitamins.  The sun is shining today so may go and sit on the back steps and suck up some sun.  Havent seen much of that since last Sept.

I never feel like eating anymore, I know that sounds crazy, but it just doesn't enter my mind until somebody brings it up. Maybe it's my meds, maybe not. You sound like a really strong person.

Yeah - when my appetite crashed I used ensure or the walgreeens brand of liquid nutrition.....it is important to maintain nutrition and hydration...and keep up the vitamins. I also think that the amino acid protocol (link at bottom right of page) is valid after stomach and abdominal troubles slacken up.....feed your head and body. You may want to try melatonin, sleepytime tea (celestial seasonings) or benadryl for sleep - the calcium/magnesium will help with legs and creepy skin.....so will a hot bath and also a heating pad (not while in bath!!!) - lots of tricks....keep posting for support and information - and good luck to you

I know it is hard and just wanted to give you a thumbs up as it sounds you have the perfect frame of mind. I am glad that you were able to read as I am just starting to actually pick up more books. Mike
