Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 55 HELP

Well gave him some karo of course he acts fine I am in the middle of being took of morphine and caffeine at the same time since my dr thinks I have adrenal fatigue syndrome so this sure has took my mind completely off my withdrawal symptoms :roll:
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 55 HELP

Or if you have any MC try that. 55 is a very good number, no need to panic yet.

Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 55+4 56 HELP

All is well. At least now you know the dosecrease is a good idea. Hoping he wants to keep eating spoon or two of the MC.

Ok thanks Jill I was just worried he was going to keep going down since I could not get him interested in eating he is like that sometimes just not in the mood to eat at all.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 55+4 56 HELP

Let's see what the next test says. We test frequently and feed a spoonful at a time so that he doesn't get too full and we can help control the numbers.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103

+4.5 103 after giving him that 1/2 cc of karo earlier I guess he will end up going too high now but I just totally panicked so afraid he was going to keep dropping since he went from 80 at +3 to 55 at +3.5 so I am just not used to that I feel like I just keep doing the wrong things with him :oops: :oops: but he has gone hypo one time on me and its funny how he acted so fine today at 55 and when he was 43 back couple of months ago when he was still on N he was almost comatose its strange how he can be so close to that number and act like he is OK so this is why I was freaking
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 55+4 56

Hi Lisa, You're doing great and so is Do Lou. Just follow the instructions that these wonderful people are giving you and all will be fine. I sure do know how you feel, but concentrate on the fact that Do Lou is healing and these drops to green are part of the process.
Hang in there and don't panic! As they say: Green is Good!

Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103

Just saw the 103 -- might be the karo -- how about 45 minutes to see next test?
Are you ok?
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103

Would love to but I think I would cry constantly right now my Mom just called and I had to hang up since thats all I did I am a mess right now :sad:
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103

You're doing good Lisa. Inhale/exhale slow and deep.
I was use to Vetsulin and when I switched to Levemer I freaked out at 50's.The first time I got one of those numbers I went in to overdrive. In fact the first time I got anything below 100 it scared me. But you are on top of this and you have the help and tools you need -
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103

You can do sooner if you want. Since he was at 103 I thought 45 min. would be good. We'll still want to stay on top of this because the karo were's off -- I don't know if the 103 is karo -- it is probably food and karo -- the food will keep him fine once the karo wears off. He's not in dangerous low numbers and you are getting fairly far into the cycle. He's going to be super fine.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103

Sweet, sweet lIsa, it's ok to be a mess. What better place to be a mess than LL? At least here we all know that mess and our hearts are full for you cause we've all been through similar.

Test away girl. :mrgreen:
I've got your spreadsheet open on my 2nd monitor, it automatically updates when you enter a number. Will be watching.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103

Look at Do Lou go! Lisa you're doin' great hun. I know it's scary, I panicked and fed hc the first time Tugger went into the 50's (58 to be exact) and was debating karo but D showed up and calmed me down :mrgreen: She's awesome.

Did I see that you've got Do Lou on all LC foods now?? That's awesome! I bet you're about to see some real progress =) Later, when you feel comfortable enough to leave him, go out and get yourself a good supply of chocolate (or whatever you love) for times like this one. It helps, it really does! And remember that we're all here for you!

It won't be so scary after you've seen blue and green numbers for a little while. I was so scared of them at first, we'd had so long with pinks and yellows that I didn't know what to think about green except scared! It wasn't long though before I started feeling bummed out if I even saw a blue because I got so used to seeing green. Do Lou just might put you in those shoes too :mrgreen: It sure looks like the diet change is doing good things :mrgreen:
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103+5 100

Wow! I'm late for all the excitement this morning. Lisa, you did great! You have never seen green numbers before, so naturally you were scared. I was freaking out the first time Blackie went green - almost hyperventilating. I hope Do Lou will surf in the low 100's the rest of today so you can catch your breath. Again, you did great - give yourself a pat on the back and give Do Lou a hug.

Thanks Marvie I know we are entering territory that we need to be in but it scares me to death nailbite_smile nailbite_smile yeah we have been LC for only a couple of days you would never know it by the last couple of cycles till today anyway. Part of my problem is I am going of morphine and caffeine at the same time bad combo :roll:
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103+5 100

NO CAFFEINE? I'd would never survive! ~O) ~O) ~O)

Do Lou is looking great. Get used to the greens, you're going to start seeing a lot of them. No worries!
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103+5 100

Oh man... I'd loose it if I had to give up my caffeine! I understand coming off morphine is pretty rough itself. Did you taper off or something? I'm sorry you're having to go through that, especially right now. {{{Lisa}}} I guess you can't have chocolate if you're giving up caffeine then... just another reason I'd loose it. Chocolate forms the base of Marvie's Food Pyramid or maybe it's the second layer with Coffee as the base layer. :lol:

You should see my cart at the grocery store. It has 30 cans of cat food, FF of course, several forms of chocolate, at least one item containing coffee (either beans to grind at home or a coffee drink for instant gratification) and cat litter if I haven't been to Sam's recently. Maybe TP once in a while. Oh, and Diet Dr Pepper. Dog bones. Sometimes frozen pizza. It's a wonder I haven't died of malnutrition. I need a keeper. Seriously.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255+3 80+ 3.5 +4.5 103+5 100

(((((LISA))))))Sweetie, no need for panic--I go away for a little while and BOOM down Do Lou goes!!
I SO KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!!!--Those low numbers can really throw us for a loop! Even now, I'm better, but always get a jolt when she goes low quickly!! Just Remember--YOU ARE IN CONTROL--You have your lc, mc & hc foods, you have karo, you have strips, you have US!!
Really, you can do this!
I use MC when Moonie starts to drop because it works more quickly than LC and she sometimes doesnt want to eat when she goes low..
BUT she Always loves Elegant Medleys by Fancy Feast-flavor-Chicken Tuscany(i add couple drops of water so it's gravyish)..
That's my secret weapon, And Not too much bounce after she eats it!!
HC she really doesnt like the heavy gravy..Oh well--Picky Picky Cats!!

YOU ARE DOING SUCH A GREAT JOB! I also had to stop caffeine, it takes a few days,but you can do it--and with some health conditions, had to do the same as you off some meds--The body is an amazing thing, healing quickly--It's more in our minds than physical..
HUGS to you & just know this secret (Decaf has a little caffeine in it too :lol: really--it helps) Luv ya! ;-)

You grocery cart sounds like mine except throw in some tv dinners we are trying to cook a little more here back in the day when my kids where little I made everything from scratch cooked all the time made tons of stuff at xmas and then I just got so burnt out once I started to work you know so little time to do things and so now cooking is such a chore and rarely done but since my health kinda is the pitts right now trying to do a little more of it see if it makes any diff. Hey Marvie I did buy a grinder and even with decaf beans coffee is not too bad actually.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255 +4.5 103+5 100+6 117

I'm laughing about Ronnie and the coffee. Caffeine is one thing-- add morphine to that withdrawal and you get every ounce of sympathy I can deliver. I'm surprised you can type.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255 +4.5 103+5 100+6 117

+ 6 117 seems to kinda be surfing blue right now I am still kinda in paranoia state of mind and trying to calm down since I want him to finally be doing this and I know I need to get used to it without having a breakdown

Well I had gone to once a day last week with the morphine and last friday I thought HMMM maybe I just will not take my one pill today so I am on day 4 of nothing and its been a very very rough weekend I never EVER want to be addicted to a this kind of drug again its just to darn hard to come off but when you read about it the worst is supposed to be the first 72 hours so I an entering the land of having the worst behind me hopefully I have never made it to day 4 before always caved in before no matter how I was doing it really slow or how I am doing it now this is the 4th time in the last year of trying to get off this drug my pain dr put me on.
 
Re: 5/3 Do Lou amps 255 +4.5 103+5 100+6 117

lisa, do lou is doing AWESOME and so are YOU!! I remember the first few times mocha gave us some low numbers, and how scared we were. But listen to the wise people on this board. You have to remember, these are the people that will NEVER put do lou in harms way, never.
