So just for the heck of it I checked my Ketones again today. This morning they were small so I didn't really think too much of it. But as you know, as the day wore on, I was feeling more and more sick and was dry heaving most of the afternoon. Anyway, once the Hubby got home and I rested for a while I decided to check my urine again for ketones, just because I can. OMG!!!! I was at a +4 that is really high!!! It is crazy high. I have had high ketones before, and I have felt this same "sick" you know the standard: Dry heaves, vomiting, tight arm, numb leg, left eye pressure, etc. When I had those symptoms in prior weeks it was before I had my test strips. So tonight i was able to make the association that when my ketones are high and I am in "starvation, dehydration" mode, my body has physiological changes to let me know that something is wrong!!! I immediately ate some Mr. Freeze popsicles, and drank some water. I tried to eat but, I wasn't able to take more than 2 bites. *sigh* I will see how I am feeling tomorrow and if I am still positive for ketones, I guess it is another trip to the ER. I wish I could stash all the cash that we have spent on ER visits for a vacation! I would be able to go to Hawaii!!! ( i am not even kidding!!!) or, I could have just taken all this time off of work, because we could have used the "ER" money. so frustrating but SOOOO necessary.
Until Later
