Don't give up, Tracy. I have my bad days, weeks and months too. Sometimes I will feel like I am dying for several days, and can't hardly force myself out of bed, other days I am feeling pretty decent. Even on the decent days, I still have aches and pains, and other weird symptoms, but on those days they are "tolerable". I am getting worse too, my top lip is pins and needles, my tongue is COLD most of the time and my gums are tingling too. Sometimes my fingers and toes are doing it, and sometimes it's the whole hands and feet too. It is so scary. I am naturally a pretty hot blooded person, and here lately my blood has felt like it has ice in it. I still overheat when I am sleeping, and when I get nervous or upset and have anxiety, but the rest of the time I am really cold!

I am having an extremely HARD time with this diet. I was always a person that had a great metabolism when I was younger. I could eat anything and everything. The mercury must be what screwed me up, because I've only been able to gain and not lose for about 5 years now. I don't have severe problems with yeast, so maybe I should try a "partial" candida diet, because I am having a really hard time, and find that I am opting to starve myself instead of hassle with it. There's been a few days, I just haven't been eating at all. I have been feeling so deprived, and eating seems to be one of the only things that make me happy EVER, so I take that away and what do I have. I know this sounds really negative, but that is kinda the mood I am in right now. I am feeling guilty for not being able to do it right. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
