We Interrupt This Program...

I'm not doing too well right now.  Severe muscle fatigue - over my entire body, a rapid heartbeat, shaking, weakness...  I saw my doctor this morning, and he's taken me off of the 2 medications and the 28-day program for a week to give my body some time to recover.  He also had some bloodwork done to check my potassium/electrolyte levels (no results yet).  I start back over on my insulin medication (building back up to the highest dosage) next Wednesday; start on the 28-day program a week and a half after that; and then start back on my 2nd medication a week after that.  Hopefully, that way, we'll isolate what is causing this to happen.  He thinks it's either the 2nd medication (spironolactone) or the nutrition "shake" that my body is adjusting to.

Eventually, we'll get this all figured out!
