Karen - that's great about your health recovery <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Thanks for the encouragement.

Dawn - I consider you a friend aswell <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I don't understand why I get so ratty sometimes and take things so personally. I try to be more disciplined. I just kind of feel sensitive to things sometimes, like no one out there cares about what I'm going through, like there's no help, just confusion.

Did it say on the website why whey protein is bad? I take rice protein, a teaspoonful a day with rice milk and vitamin fortified milkshake powder (strawberry or chocolate) just to make the taste nicer. It helps to increase my protein intake.

I really need to focus more on my diet. I know I eat too much spicy foods and don't eat enough home-made foods - partly because cooking is such an effort.

I get scared about being poisoned aswell, just try not to think about it too much, but some days it really gets me down. I get scared of some of the supplements so try to do it naturally, but I know at the moment I am not taking enough supplements so need to remedy that.
