:eek:

Ok, about a month ago, I was doing quite well on the old low carb path for a couple of weeks, but didn't notice that the sometimes excrutiating pain in my arms had lessoned, to not being there unless I did something stupid like bump my arm or reach for something. Until I fell off the wagon and binged on sugar, and wham bam thank you maam, pain.

This week while in hospital for my gall bladder operation, I was on an insulin/glucose drip to control my sugar levels. (they actually had them set quite high so my sugar levels were always between 9 and 11, I dont know why) but the pain had gone away. I get home, binge on carbs, ok I did have 2 days of throwing up and was trying to eat very plainly, but today I've been pigging out on the carbs and wham, this afternoon, pain.

I guess I know what I have to do now. I wonder how long it it going to take for this to stick. Is my intolerance for pain greater than my addiction to sugar?

((hugs)).

I understand the addiction roller coaster.

Sorry to hear about the gall bladder op.

I hope things are improving!

Kath, I understand only too well. I'm sensitive to wheat, I can have it some times but if I overload I get aches in my joints. It can be extremely painful, but I still haven't learnt the lesson :( Fingers crossed, I do now.

Ditto from me as well. It took me ages to connect the two. I have really bad knees waiting for knee replacement & if I eat a lot of carbs they are so sore to the point of needing to take big pain killers now I am doing lc the pain is so much better. Be kind to urself you have just had surgery so give your body a chance to heal & recover. You will get back on the wagon soon enough. You have done it before you can do it again.

Hope ou feeling better soon I had the same thing a few years ago wow how far we have come to be able to do it with key hole surgery.

Hugs
