    I'd say do the best you can with your nutrition, and keep exercising as much as you can.

    I'd add in Omega 3/6 Fatty acids for sure, if you don't already. Excellent for the immune system, and helps with allergic stuff nicely over the long term.

    I wish you the best and congrats on the 48 miles!!! Keep at it.
    What a lovely reply, cheers.

    Well, thanks to my book I have checked out Omega 3 and I am getting plenty of that, thanks to my daily tin of sardines............think I will be growing gills and fins soon...............ooops!

    Omega 6 I suspect I get from most things I eat, so all is good. It does however, reiterate how important to eat my sardines.

    Hiyeeee

    Now c'mon my Ozzie mate, don't disrespect my distance, it's 48 miles or 77.25 km..............phew!

    You are so right, if they had not done this particular blood test, I would still be struggling.

    Three weeks today on meds and everything has settled down, especially the spaced out feeling. Suddenly discovered I so like cottage cheese, plain probiotic yogurt and my newest surprise is sweet potatoes...........yum! Then the naughtier things like dried apricots and all sorts of nuts, ummmm, meant to be in moderation.

    Okay, I was going to spare you this story, but since you mention it...

    One of my dogs had to take Prednisolone for an auto-immune blood disorder.

    All her life she had a very sluggish metabolism, was hungry all the time and had to be on a pretty strict diet.

    When we put her on Prednisolone, she was so hungry that she used to sit out on the porch at night and eat June bugs.

    If you start getting an appetite for June bugs, talk to your doctor immediately.

    I have not laughed so much in a while.

    OK, as you know, when somebody adds to a thread, we receive an email notification, so, I just logged off from here and noticed I had a new email.

    Clicked on it and it opened half way down to read:

    ................. on Prednisolone, she was so hungry that she used to sit out on the porch at night and eat June bugs.


    Phew, was I relieved to realise it was a dog, I was beginning to get slightly worried.

    LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    If you get that hungry, it may be like post anorexia. ( you want to make up for lost time or something) .
    Carrots,raw carrots, munchy yum. Celery, green apples, non nom nom!
    Eat them all day( I like to eat when I m bored, bad habit.)

    But 77 mile, WOWEEEE!!!! Your like a goddess!!! I want to be you!
    Thats like so cool

    and I think June bugs dont have many calories( the poor dog!!)
