The FastDay Forum

Just when I got going with fasting again (managed 3 weeks) , I came down with a severe cold the other day and even though my appetite isn't great, the only things I crave are sweet and bad for me things.
Top that of that I read the other day that two of my meds causes weight gain. Well, during those 10 yrs I have been on them, no-one have told me so. Never got that far when I read the list of side effects...... So thyroid stuff and this, no strange thing there is too much of me

That's not fair at all!!! Hope you feel better soon x

Get well soon and worry about fasting when you feel better.

Take care of yourself, that's the most important thing right now. About the cravings...... well you can have some in moderation, right ? And you have to eat something so, while you're sick, eat what's make you want to eat.

And about your medicine, maybe your GP can check if there are other medicines available ?

Ugh! I love how the doctors act like it's not a big deal, shrug and tell you to just go on a diet and do the best you can. Not fair is right!

Thank you all for caring, still quite coldy and feel like s-t. I have had quite good doctors, but the weight gain they never talked about the weight gain, wonder why?
Manderlay, to change meds is a no-no. It took like 6 months to find the right ones and the right doses (have been on them for 10 years) and without them I would sink back into that black bottomless hole again
The sun is climbing over the treetops it's just one grade below freezing. Looks really nice but the only time I will get my toes outside the door is to do some grocery shopping.
