I've tried to lose weight, and I tend to get REALLY crabby (irritable) and confused, more so than other people who cut back on food intake. It has been suggested by people that i respect that I may have hypoglycemia.

I do sometimes forget to eat if I'm involved in something -- and Dear Husband has found me so disoriented that I wasn't sure of my own name a time or two! -- this seems to support that theory.

The "treatment" for this seems to be to eat more! (Well, more often, but far smaller amounts. Just enough to not crash-and-burn.)

I've taken to having nuts (almonds or peanuts) with me at work and have a couple of tablespoons-worth on break, and I've noticed that I do get less "fuzzy-headed" and less flat-out HUNGRY but lunch and by suppertime.

So...how to balance this so I get even amounts and still lose weight? I don't expect sugar-free Jello to do a damn thing but taste sweet, cookies are right out for THIS, though I do like a couple after lunch, wonder of carrot stichs would keep in the desk drawer...hmm.

I know if I mention this to an allopathic physician (either an MD or a DO) they're gonna want to do many expensive tests and probably drug me -- any suggestions to find out just what I need to do without taking that avenue?

When us kids would get poison ivy, Cousin Bonnie would send us to the city pool, which had chlorine in the water.  Usually one afternoon's worth of swimming and we were OK.

Why don't people just put a teaspoon or so in a bathtub of water and go pour it over themselves with a plastic mug if they don't want to go to the pool?  Or if what you have is a shower, stand in a washtub or rubbermaid tub or....

Finally started on Yule prezzies --
