Hi! Im new to the group!

FungusGirl

So I was a low carb girl, was also anorexic for a chunk of my life. I ended up passing out on a toilet while peeing due to malnutrition and my leg was resting on a heater attached to the wall. Full thickness burn, time in the hospital=140. Healthy. Bring in Lyme disease, steroids, doxycycline...then MS. Got scared, started listening to quack doctors, ridiculous diet/detoxing...now I'm where I am.
I read about ketogenic/low carb diets to help my brain repair itself. These things I already knew-I was just so blindly scared that I was completely scattered.
I'm back and getting back into the swing of things again after having getting burned due to a muscle spasms and dumping boiling bone broth out of my pot onto my thigh a year ago. I was not treated correctly at the hospital, ended up with Septicemia in a bad way. By the time I allowed my husband to take me back in (I went twice), I was delirious and they believed I wasn't going to last the night.
I did.
Now my thyroid is dead.
Everything I've read about Synthroid is bad mojo, so until I find a suitable medication, I'm refused it and am looking for alternatives-vitamins, food, you name it.
Things have changed since I started this in 2001-I'm only 37, but holy cow.
No net carbs, count all carbs.
I need more than 2000 in Sodium? Makes sense considering I drink no less than a gallon of water a day and I'm still retaining some water.
Massive high fat, I'm getting too much protein?
Splenda is bad? Well, I know it's psycho processed, but it causes carb creep and weight stall? It never did before!
I used ketostix for a while wayyy back in the day to figure out what was working for me or not, but I drink so much it barely shows most of the time.
Now there is a breathalyzer and proper blood testing? I looked it up and saw throw away breathalyzer tests, but only alcohol digital testing...and so on.
Thank you for accepting me in this group. Calorie Count site is not nice about this way of life and downright shun/shame people. Other low carb forums aren't active, really.
I need the support.
Cheers!
