dlewis1234's Journal, 16 December 2019

Have to back off strict keto per Dr’s orders for a bit. He thinks it’s contributing to the increase in the restless legs syndrome. He upped my med dose, and we compromised at 30 net carbs daily.
I will have to get back to logging my food diary, but will wait until the new year.
Nerve damage in legs is getting worse, I was only taking the meds when I couldn’t stand it any longer. Now, I have to take them daily. They make me sleepy.
I hate it knowing what chemo, steroids and large amounts of nausea meds did to my body. I felt that I was making strides and putting it all behind me.
Maybe it won’t be so bad.
I will choose “good” carbs and when I feel strong again, I will back off the meds as well as the carbs.
Enough venting.
No worries the next two weeks, lots of traveling, and time with all of my granbabes. Blessed beyond measure.
Still waiting on the cancer antigen results 🤞🏻
A wonderful holiday season to all of you, my FS friends. Y’all are the best support system this girl has ❤️

dlewis, many on keto take magnesium supplements for RLS. Try Mag64 ot SloMag, 3 x per day for the first bottle, then 2 x for the second bottle. I still take it 1x per day.

Gz- i was taking the supplement, just a generic brand though, but only once a day, but I have to stop because it interacts with the med for the nerve damage. It’s hard to tell if it was working or not the RLS was wicked awful. Thank so much my friend ❤️

Find another doctor before this one kills you!

I've never found a solution for RLS. My mother has it much worse than I do, and she hasn't found anything that helps either (and she works with doctors!). Good luck, I know how frustrating it is.

Thank you Melissa! The requip is working for now. It’s tough because of the nerve damage from chemo, I can’t “walk out” when the rls is bad because of pain. I hope that some day there is permanent relief from this terrible condition for everyone!

I hope you feel better soon dlewis. No macronutrient is the enemy in its natural form. The problem is the processing and the unnatural forms and behaviors that associate with it. Happy new year
