Julie, I am so sorryto hear of these issues.  I thought that the new
year would bring "the best is yet to come", but since New Years, it has
been downhilll for me and my family. I hear you have these health
issues. People are dying and the year is 8 days old.  I pray tomorrow
brings a better one.

Last thursday, my mother in law died.  We were talking on the phone when
she was crying and collapsed.

I see that in one second your life is over.  I have decided I have to
live life fuller, happier and a much better diabetic.

I am afraid that all the food that is brought in for sitting shiver, (a
one week period of mourining) is doing me in.



Sorry to hear that.  When my husband's grandma died, people brought all
sorts of food.  They are Italian so there was a ton of pasta and also
pastries.  My sister in law had GD at the time.  I had not been diagnosed
back then.  I knew nothing about diabetes, except I thought diabetics
couldn't eat sugar.  She kept getting sick because she wasn't eating right
with all the running around we were doing.  So I kept trying to feed her
pasta because that was all that was in the house  We were staying at my
inlaws and my mother in law was disabled at that point.  They normally had a
caregiver for her but since I was there, they gave the caregiver some days
off.  I hadn't cooked or bought any food because people kept bringing it
over.  Must have been hard for my sister in law then, being pregnant, with
GD and a small child to look after and then all those carbs!

I have experienced things in the past four days that I never knew people
experience.  and still have their sanity,  At least I hope I am sane.
lol



Well, that's good.  Nobody died here, but Angela has been sick and two
teenagers nearly killed us the other day with their reckless driving.
Luckily my husband was home and he went to investigate.  The idiots were
still there when the sheriff arrived.  I don't know what they were doing
other than driving fast and badly.  Came very close to hitting my van, then
they spun off the other side of the road, flipped the car, bouncing it
through my neighbor's yard and taking out a couple of bushes before landing
in the driveway.  And then they had the nerve to get out of the car and
laugh about it!  My husband said their car wasn't damaged, but I highly
doubt that.  The sheriff did call me for a statement and said he was
charging them with reckless driving.  He also said that they were very sorry
for what they did.

There may not be things you like, but there have to be substitutues.  If
you are allergic to the eggs are you allergic to the chickens.



I'm not allergic to chicken, but my mom is allergic to both.  Angela showed
a slight reaction to chicken but not enough for it to be considered an
allergy.  So for that reason, I limit how much chicken she eats.  I don't
care for chicken at all  I did make some tonight mixed with rice noodles,
carrots, celery, onion, green beans and a few peas.  I can handle it like
that.  But to eat a piece of chicken, even with the bones out, disgusts me.
My grandma had a farm and I saw her butcher the chickens.  I get memories of
that every time I try to eat a piece of chicken.  I'd be a vegetarian for
sure if it weren't for the anemia I get when I don't eat a bit of red meat
now and then.

Three years ago I took a flu shot and was very very sick  I too have a
sensitivity to eggs.



Mine goes beyond sensitivity.  I was very, very ill the last 4 times I ate
eggs.  So ill that I would never eat an egg again even if I hadn't had it
confirmed by the allergy test.

I hope you get answers Julie 


Thanks!  I see my GP tomorrow.  Maybe he can make some sense of my labs.
The liver thing is really worrisome.

I'm deathly allergic to eggs, bird ***, feathers, birds, and I cannot handle raw poultry, BUT I can eat cooked poultry. What's up with that???? At least that gives me a little more choice for meat.

I hope you find things that you can eat. Are there foods that you can experiment with that maybe aren't in the Western Food diet? I eat a lot of Asian food & experimenting with some Indian foods.

Cheers,
Trinity
