Getting off carbs, as in Atkins diet, did more for me to clear up stuff like heartburn than anything else I have ever done. Eat a big old pile of mashed potatoes or dive into a loaf of bread or a plate of pasta, and I have indigestion all night.

The reason I started testing again is that I was having some strange symptoms that didn't seem to fit other causes, so I wanted to see if my blood sugar was going wonky, and indeed it was--going too high, remaining high too long. I expected from symptoms it would be too low, but it was the opposite. Blood sugar does vary a lot in the course of a day, but it doesn't really have to. It is possible to find which foods send it soaring then and stop eating those foods. I am looking at blood sugar stabilization because it is something I have not previously tried in my search to eliminate or further reduce chronic stubborn symptoms I have that cause me loss of quality of life, and loss of physical functionality, as in I can't do what I want to do, and I consider myself partially disabled because of limited ability to do basic daily things I used to do without even thinking about them (decades ago). For the past 15 or so years, I have to ration everything I do on the basis of the amount of pain and further limited mobility it might cause due to increased pain, and/or how much energy it will use up that might be better used doing something else, even if no extra pain is produced. Anyone familiar with the "spoon theory" will know what I mean. Every single thing I do in a day is a trade off for something else I won't be able to do because of what I did choose to do. The good news is that I have improved to where I no longer need canes (2) or walking sticks to get around, and I can do more than just get my morning shower (some days in the past I didn't used to be able to even shower). Back then, I'd have thought myself very well indeed to be where I am mostly at today, but I am finding that this still isn't the kind of life I want, so I keep trying things to see if I can get more improvement. Unfortunately most of the things I've tried seem to only result in setbacks which it is dismayingly difficult to crawl up from. At some point, I need to give up trying for further improvement and consider this "as good as it gets". But so far I have been too stubborn to do that, and as my husband is wont to say "hope springs infernal". I keep hoping for something better, when I should probably just be grateful I'm not in a wheelchair, which seemed to be in my near future a few years ago. I am grateful I am not sick half or more of every year with colds or flu as I used to be in pre-CS decades. There is no condition so bad that a really nasty long cold can't make worse, LOL. sol > On 14 Mar 2010, at 02:25, sol wrote: > > >> ARE you taking high dose vit C?
