Hi I just wanted to chime in on this discussion since it's already started I didn't want to start another thread on the same subject.
But I have fibro and I have been on Atkins for almost two weeks. I have had a lot more pain lately and I was wondering myself if the diet could be effecting me. I'm hoping it would help me feel better as other people have said and maybe this is a kind of withdrawal..On the other hand the weather is really bad so maybe it's just that that's causing extra pain.
But is it normal for a fibro person to experience more pain after starting the diet and then it gets better after some time?
I also have hypoglycemia so I feel a lot better in that regard but I would hate to have to choose between pain or blood sugar issues..hopefully it's the weather.
