I checked my test results. The test lasted about 1 1/2. They injected 1mg of controsy in my vein. They got 1 measure before and 3 measures after, at different times. This was to assess my surrenal glands, it seems. Does this have anything to do with reaction to insulin ? Those results were...

I suppose the Eatwell guide is the UK equivalent of the Canadian food guide ? It’s being revisited here as well. Sugar is a modern day demon...

I forgot to mention I had a lot of nausea too. Is this a sign of hypoglycemia as well ?

Yes, I can see now that this was too much sugar. We were caught off guard, not knowing what to do. I like to eat breakfast around 10, and usually just rest before eating. That day I did a bit of work, not much, but it was too much for my capacities. This morning I made sure to eat early...

When I really started to grasp that there was something seriously wrong with my health, 3 years ago, I had hypoglycemia as one of my first symptoms. This is when I started being really investigated for various illnesses and was later diagnosed with me. At the time, I had hypoglycemia for a few...

There are thousands of people in Canada with the same experience, sadly !

Congratulations @andypants ! It’s really great that your property gained so much value in just a few years and helped you upscale. Renovating is such a pleasure, but it’s also very fatiguing. It’s a good thing you’ll have time and you have knowledge and experience with it. My new house...

Make sure you tag me, I want to follow you !

I’m glad you found a house. Congratulations ! It’s exciting, isn’t it ? I am doing ok but really fatigued with the project management aspect of moving, but mostly of organizing all the renovating and work we have to do before I move. I’ve had to hire at least 10-15 different suppliers ...

@Wonko thanks, I had never seen those before. @Alvin So cute, I want one ! :-)

What are « air mice « ?

Ha Ha Ha ! @Wonko you’re very « pince sans rire »... I love fudge, I could eat one pound and still want more ! This is the stand I use, so it’s very convenient, as long as you’re not using your hands. I had not anticipated that it would put so much tension on my hands, arms and shoulders...

Thank you, lots of great ideas ! @Allele I will definitely try 2 cushions for my arms, or even a thicker one. The one I use has had a rough life... @MarcNotMark I’m trying to look for a Bluetooth keypad with trackpad for my iPad Air 2. If I can find something at a reasonable price, I think...

Yeah, I might have to do that. But I’m afraid in 20 years I’ll end up with a very crooked neck. I could alternate though, maybe that would work. 2 weeks stand / 1 week on my lap for a break. Although I’ve heard about people who are bedbound who use those stands. Not for as long as me I...

I do. It would work for simple tasks like « open book » but probably not for playing with applications and games. I will try tomorrow, you never know.

As many of you I’m sure, my activities are limited and I spend a lot of time feet up on the couch, in a semi-lying position. So I do a lot of stuff on my iPad : reading the newspaper, participating in forums and social media, playing easy games and so forth. I bought a stand so I would not...

You’re welcome ! When is the documentary coming out ?

@ScottTriGuy I had PEM but I wouldn’t call it a crash. I was totally destroyed when I got home, aching all over and mad headache. I went to bed at 8pm and was k.o. the next day. But I left at 3, I couldn’t take it anymore. I think most people stayed until the end, and maybe even for the...

I attended and although my memory is really had and doesn’t serve me well, I remember a patient asking a question at the end regarding how this would apply to us with ME, as practicing 1 hour a day would be very hard, and there is not one single thing we need to rewire our brain for, but so many...

It’s very hard to watch...
