Best of luck at the Dr. Keep us updated. My prayers are with you.
I suffer from dilbilitating migrains. I am on Effexor an 2 different
Maxalt’s. I take the effexor daily. Since I have on on ATkins, my migraines have
decreased. But I also take Omega 6 and q10 (150 mg). I just read an article
about
Omega’s and Q10 decreasing migrains. Ask your Dr about.

Tell your little voices to SHUT UP! I can’t hear mine……
I am a HUGE Sushi fan… we do not go out for sushi often [it’s not a
cheap meal] but when we do, we go bonkers… Containing myself to a
reasonable amount is not an issue… but 99% of the sushi and rolls I
TRUELY enjoy are wrapped with white rice!!! UGH! I don’t EVEN wanna
know how many carbs are in one piece. Sushi is so good for you but the
rice is the killer… Any other sushi fans here? Any ideas?

Angel, I have been going through something of the same. Except that I
have a fast racing heart and extreme pain in my joints.
The doctor sent me for a glucose fast blood test, TSH thyroid and also
an ECG. I haven’t heard back from him yet but hope
the results are good. I have some major surgery coming up and have not
been 100% faithful to this WOL but will for sure once
all is said and done.
Hope all goes well with you tests. I’ll try to let you know what the
results are. As for the weight gain, I am on a muscle relaxant
that has made me gain back all I’ve lost. Go figure.
I just came back from the glucose test…and all the thyroid ones..will find
out results tomorrow at 2:45 with meeting with doc…I’ve gained a bit of
weight back that i’d lost..but i am attributing that to the fact i am on
steroids
at the moment for pneumonia…so hopefully once i am done those …i’ll be
ok..i also take a muscle relaxant..due to having Fibromyalgia…i take
Flexeril…hasnt seemed to cause weight gain…might be something for you to
look into???
Thanks for your words of support..i also hope that your tests come back
good..please do let me know how it turns out!!

Today I am not going to ingest any more aspartame (I like AW Diet
Root Beer, but switched to DietRite soda pop, which is made with
Splenda).
If that doesn’t get me off this plateau, I will also quit using the
Prozac. If that doesn’t do it, I’ll give up my muscle relaxant, too.
I have these medications because I suffer from fibromyalgia, but if I
could lose weight, I’m sure I wouldn’t hurt near as much as I do now.
Em,
First of..dont stop your prozac without advice from your doc..it can be very
dangerous to stop a medication abruptly…and he may have a better choice for
you to be on..i personally am in Wellbutrin and it does not cause weight
gain..in fact its been proven in some cases people to actually LOSE weight on
it…which i did the first few months i was on it…secondly there is YUMMY soda
made with Splenda…its called Diet Weight Watchers. It comes in Diet Root Beer
which i LOVE…Diet orange..and Diet cola and Diet Black Cherry…not sure if
there is other ones..oh yeah..also diet raspberry gingerale…all i have tried
except the diet cola one and i LOVE them..so i dont know if that is available
to you at any of your local stores…
I also suffer from fibromyalgia…and have had 2 surgeries in the past 4
months..so i am currently having a major flare up…i am on an anti
inflammatory..and also oxycontin for pain..i just started the pain med…i HATE
takin pain
meds but at this point..i was barely able to move around nevermind function
properly..in addition i am on several other medications for various
conditions…migraines..asthma…i have pneumonia at the present time..meds for
depression
do best contacting your doctor and discussing your alternatives…just my two
cents…i am also currently waiting for blood tests results that i had redone
today…because it looks like i may have diabetes and/or a thyroid
problem..which i think i told you because you posted back to me…so yeah..right
now
things seem bleak..but i am going to still push on…stay on the diet…and hope
for the best!! Take care hun….

Hi Guys!
You guys have been so helpful and supportive in the past, I am hoping
you guys come through again [duh, of course you will]… my mom is my
Atkins buddy and she is having a hard time. I am trying to be supportive
but… well, I am running out of things to say and suggest.
She ius having problems getting into ketosis and loosing any wieght.
She’s 55 and on prozac and Lipitor… I told her I can bet her meds plus
her age are not helping… I suggested she call her doctor to see if he
can switch her meds or suggest something else. She INSIST she is not
going over 20 net carbs… I don;’t know what else is can be. Any one
else have this problem? The weight she has to loose is all in her belly.
She might have to loose approx 40 lbs … at the most.
Any suggestions would be helpfull! Thanks so much!
Nichole
PS: Plus it doesn’t help she EXPECTS the weight to disappear. I think
her ideals on this diet are a bit off. She thinks after a week she is
going to be 30 lbs lighter [a bit over exaggerated, I know].

I am going to offer several suggestions that I have tried for breakfast. I
am going to attempt to link the recipe page with the name of the dish … I
hope it works. 
I make quiche a lot. I have made a bacon, egg, green onion quiche; a
pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper quiche; or you can have broccoli, ham …
whatever you want. Just make the basic quiche recipe and add whatever you
want with it (chicken, beef, leftovers from the night before…). Another
one of my personal favorites for breakfast is Breakfast Custard. I have also
tried things like You won’t believe it’s not french toast , sweet induction
breakfast , Mock Cream Cheese Danish . If you really want a list of
breakfast ideas, please check this page or this page .
Hope this helps.
