    Hon - don't keep your carbs TOO low...have you been eating protein also?

    If you have changed your eating habits just before this problem started, let the doc know, ok? She may order other tests.

    My first thought was Chronic Fatique Syndrome. But being anemic will also cause you to poop out.

    Thanks guys.

    I am soooo tired. I actually made dinner last night though. Spaghetti and asparagus. mmmmmmm.... and I was able to stay awake long enough to watch my two shows before I crawled off to bed.

    This morning, alarm went off at 6...slept in until 6:30, got up, let the cats out, kneeled down in the hallway to pet them and promptly fell asleep!

    Yeesh!

    Thankfully the cats hollaring for food startled me awake or else Andy would of woken me up when he tripped over me.

    You mentioned you were craving pasta the other day. Sometimes that gives us clues...

    Could be that whatever you have is making your body crave 'quick energy' foods.

    Is your diet balanced? Asapragus and spaghetti is great, but that is carb (one of them with great vitamins! )

    Where's your protein, hon?

    Kimmy, I hope the tests get to the bottom of this for you and it is easily treated and nothing serious.

    As for endo I can relate. I have it but four weeks ago I had a hysterectomy to treat/end it. I hope it worked!!!

    You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    I vant to suck your blood!!!



    Just got back from the doctors. Went well and I should get the results of the blood work in a couple of days.

    They are testing for anemia, diabetes, & thyroid specifically as well as running a full CC panel and Lipid panel.

    Dr. Eaton said if everything comes back normal, then she may recommend me for a sleep study.

    And for the first time in 14 years I didn't pass out after having the blood drawn. I was impressed with myself.

    It's okay! It shows you care.

    It wasn't as much as I was craving pasta as I was craving italian food. I like to mix it up when it comes to ethnic foods. Sometimes I crave mexican, other time mediterranean dishes, ect... other times I just want a good ol' fashioned burger.

    I eat a lot of beef, chicken, and fish.

    Today was cereal and juice for breakfast, ham sandwiches with fruit, yogurt, and cheese and crackers for lunch, and I'm trying to decide between tuna or beef for dinner.
