dancingsingingA rather counter-intuitive thing happened with the new, time-released meds. Basically, I got all draggy and kind of low-level depressed. Turns out, I was so focused on eating "perfectly" that my blood sugar was kind of nonstop low. I was all worried that if I ate carbs, I'd be sprinting to the bathroom, so I didn't eat any and, well, that just didn't work for my body.
So I eventually worked up the courage to test out the limits of how many carbs I could eat while taking the new medicine, and it turned out that the answer is a fuck-ton. I actually seem to need /more/ that I did before I started taking this medicine. And it's actually hard to make myself sick unless I eat sweets.
It feels like one big lesson in There Are No "Bad" Foods. (At one point this weekend, I was feeling horribly ill until I ate a bunch of potato chips; then I felt great.) (I need to write one of those New Miracle Health Food! books now, about Lays potato chips.)

In summary: the new med works and you're not living on the porcelain throne?
