I am so thankful for your empathy, LS. I can't explain how isolated I am from the caring people around me who *don't* get it. Thanks for being here on this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really want to be where you are now!! Did you jump into the diet, or go slow? After an attack I get so ravenous I just can't eat properly. I also can't do soy, and can't seem to kick meat. But I am 1 month with no caffeine as of this weekend, and the next item on my list is HFCS.
I'm so hesitant to do the diet full-steam. If I invest money and time into the diet, and I cheat or it doesn't work, I will feel like a failure. I guess that's why I haven't gone for it.
But the biggest hurdle to my wellness is that I am so concerned with the outward appearence of wellness at my job and with relatives. I hate being stigma-ed by my illness. I don't want to be the girl with special food in the fridge. I've just gotta let go of that!!!!!
If I'm ever going to kick this pain, I have GOT to do this diet. *sigh*
