My health has improved some since on the Atkins program. I stated that. My guess is that your low-carb eating kept you much healthier than you would have been otherwise and minimized your sumptoms. Yes I am much healthier. The pain in the knees, migraines, sleep apnea, IBS, have cleared up. This would make more sense than your negative take, since for most of us the type of symptoms that you describe have all improved over time on Atkins. -- Questioning Atkins is a negative take? I don't think it is. One of the concerns I stated was the eating of certain meats that can cause Gout, or Gout like symptoms.

I hope it gets solved soon. I have a relative with fibromyalgia, and I
know it's no fun at all... the bleeding - it is highly possible it's the Vioxx, as such things often lead to dehydration in the colon (pain medications in general, actually) and to bleeding - in which case, it's unfortunatly not the drug for you. Hang in there... and be well. -- Nancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the to send mail). |

I hope it gets solved soon. I have a relative with fibromyalgia, and I
know it's no fun at all... Me too. I appreciate everyones support, thank you. I will make it to the doc to see what to do next. Testing, etc. I am starting school tomorrow. Can't wait. It will be of a big help to get out of the house, and meet new people. I am taking graphic design. the bleeding - it is highly possible it's the Vioxx, as such things often lead to dehydration in the colon (pain medications in general, actually) and to bleeding - in which case, it's unfortunatly not the drug for you. I think so, the Vioxx. I been really taking it easy, not letting it all get to me. The bleeding is still going on. Not as intense. I was able to hold food down today. Been pretty much liquids all last week. The elbow swelling is down too. Hang in there... and be well. -- Nancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the to send mail). |

Sunshyne, relax.
I read this last night, wanted to let you know. In a weird way, it was comforting. Things happen to us all as we age. Has little or nothing to do with our diets, it's just part of life. I been aging for quite awhile, actually since a young age. I am 38 yrs. old. Inside, I feel young, outside..I feel a hundred years old. Accepting and understanding the changes is important. You'll be fine. Yeah, I will be fine. I sorta freaked out I think. |
