Does anyone know if there's a link?

I seem to be having a lot of trouble resisting sugar at the weekends at the moment. This is a pattern I've noticed in past winters. When I'm feeling better then sugar makes me worse; but when I'm really struggling, sugar seems to help me function better. It's an awful thing to rely on for that because I'm aware of all the other negative effects of eating the stuff.

My pule rate has been about 65 bpm in the morning; this morning, after eating sugar yesterday, it was 80. Temperature still low though. And I'm not feeling great, still irritable, but I have more energy to function and I generally don't feel so painful inside. That symptom is difficult to describe but I'm sure others here have had it. It's like having joint or muscle pain but instead it's like the whole inside of you, your emotions and your spirit even, is just hurting.

I don't want to eat sugar but as long as I know it helps in this way it's impossible to stay away from it for long, even though I know it interferes with chelation.

BTW I thought very carefully about my situation, and the advice given here, and decided to order some Armour anyway. I've got to find out if it helps. This is the hardest time of year for me. I don't see Dr. Peatfield for another month and my condition deteriorates noticeably in that time, February and March always being the worst times of year for me. I'm getting the Armour from that company that ships it from the south Pacific and will try having a quarter grain twice a day, see if it helps. It's a hell of a lot healthier than dosing myself with sugar.
