A Breathairian

That's me. B/c Air is now the only safe thing for me to consume.

I started out on this road, already on a limited carb diet. Then I had to limit protien, Okay, I balanced that, and also limited fat, cuz well, YEAH. Then I had to do the no added salt thing. Okay, worked that in, no problem.

Now I have to limit my potassium.

I no longer no what to eat. Seriously. I'm starting to have anxiety whenever I think about taking a bite of anything. Is it wrong in some way? Am I going to throw something off? I don't have a lot of wiggle room here.

I'm trying to make an appointment with a nutritionist, but that's apparently difficult, as the only one I can find doesn't return her phone messages.

(Yeah, I'm feeling the stress on this one)

And my doctor's are telling me to relax. Yeah. Its easy for them. They only have to recommend things, they don't have to live it.

  2. Limiting potassium b/c a medication I'm on (Quinapril & Attacand:the combination of these 2 lowers the protein in my urine & keeps my name of the donor list)is raising my levels of potassium in my blood. Too much potassium & your heart stops.

    I'm trying not to slide down the slippery slope of taking medication to counteract the side effects of other medication. This seems like a very bad idea to me.
