It could be that you have picked up a bug if you have a poorly tummy too! There are a lot about! Make sure you are getting all 4 packs in and that you are drinking enough (but not too much) water. Also, can you contact your LLC by phone? She should be able to talk you through things. When is your next meeting?

Phoenix65 · 8th January, 2010

Hi bekimo,

You might be right about the tummy bug I hadn't thought of that. My next meeting is on Tuesday providing I'm not snowed in, last week's meeting was cancelled apparently. I will see how I get on over the weekend.

Thanks

I am on Exante, but came to look on here is there is more info on what is a similar plan.

I found this sticky fascinating! Thank you all. I have to face food everyday as I have kids to cook for and my OH. Other than nearly dribbling in the pan, it has been pretty easy so far.

Good luck to all on LL x

Anyone suffering from bad circulation? Im 22 so i dont usually suffer from bad circulation but im constantly getting pins and needles in my hands at the moment.

tracyd · 24th September, 2010

Hi River cant say ive had pins&needles, I did get a couple of nights towards the start where i woke in the night with cramp in my leg, i read that this happened to someone else too. are you getting the pins& needles often?

River · 24th September, 2010

Hi Tracey, Oh thats nasty.. I havent had cramps yet, but yeh im sitting now and my foot has it. Its weird cause ill be walking and ill suddenly get tingling and then i have to sit down to get the feeling back.

Maybe its because my hands and feet are so cold.

tracyd · 24th September, 2010

yeah it could be river.....take it you didnt get that before LL?

River · 24th September, 2010

No

well you know unless i sat awkwardly but this happens if im just normally sitting for long periods or get up too quickly. Think ill buy some of those wool socks ! see if it is the cold

.

tracyd · 25th September, 2010

yeah try the socks but if they dont help i wouldnt ignore that......id keep an eye on it and maybe get it checked out?

I've been lucky and not had too many side effects - I had a really nasty case of loose bowels at the beginning of my second week one night, but that's not repeated itself (Thank God!) and I had a bad case of dry mouth a few days after. That's easily fixed with Boot's own dry mouth spray though!

I was really worried going into this, but not had much to complain about so far (at least not publicly

)
