Hey Sharon,
The wench is back! Its great to hear you sounding so well again.
I dont know if you remember my mentioning a while back that my wonderful psychiatrist had written a book about treating depression with chromium picolinate. The books out and he has a webpage:
http://www.chromiumconnection.com/
I mention this because you say youve been craving sweets and taking chromium helps with that, too. After I started taking it and stopped my SSRIs, I dumped maybe fifteen pounds. While there are very few side effects, I dont know about taking it with your existing immune disorders. However, you can email Dr. M from his webpage. He loves answering questions.
Have a great day. Youve been having such a rough time with your flare up, I love the thought of you on that long walk with Tony.
Love,
Gina

It is in a supplement I am currently taking,also recommended for blood sugar disorders...I will check out the recommended dosage however.Gina, I feel so good and I'm flat broke, which is the irony of it all.When I had $$ to spend I was pretty miserable...now I value things a lot more.Tony and I are planning to get re-married.....(don't ask)After 20 years of torturing each other, I hope we get it right this time...we surely deserve each other!!!! Thanks for the info...have a great day.Love,S
Sharron, I Love, love stories!! That is sooo cool that your thinking about getting married.. !!!!!

It's funny that Sharon mentioned the cravings for sweets, I was going to post about that today. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks clean for me. I have eaten almost nothing besides sweets. My diet has mostly consisted of Big Reese Cups and pumpkins rolls. I am usually a healthy eater. Is this common? How have other people dealt with this?
I'll be back in 5 minutes. This reminds me that I really need a slice of pumpkin roll. Oh well, better pumpkin roll than oxy! Atlas

Atlas, OMG..the pumpkin bars at Kwik trip with the butter cream frosting are to die for. Thank you god, my kids don't like them.
It is sick about the sugar issue. Nothing else sounds good. Check out Gina's post above...good info.
Have a great day everyone.

Chromium is a great supliment and one should take 1- 200mcg tablet twice daily. This will help the body control insuline levels and help facilitate uptake of glucose into your bodies cells. It is, howwever, unproven that Chromium has any effect on significant weight loss. All the studies I have read do not show any evidence that chromium has any effect that good aerobic exercise could produce. Elevation of heart rate at 40-60% of your max rate for 30minutes a day has more benefits than any suppliment....that is a fact!!!!
