FINDINGS:
I am still allergic to something. Culprit could be:
DAIRY, PEANUT BUTTER, APPLES, COFFEE, COFFEE DAIRY and non-dairy CREAMER, MEAT
- KETO high fat diet has no effect on my seizures, but magnesium and electrolytes might?
- I can’t have tea or chocolate even without sugar and additives. Cheese may also be triggering the seizure / migraine issues.
- I can’t eat nuts (very often, maybe in a pinch) – I did start to develop a rash with them.
- I MIGHT BE ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS. [!!!!!!!]
- I don’t like eggs.
- High fat / high meat gives me the most intolerable ‘hot flashes’ but it’s like I’m being melted – my eyes sweat, it’s crazy. It takes a normal hot flash to an 11.
- I’m still not healing well and I don’t know why.
- Seizures are worse and I have no energy to exercise or do anything, my energy and stamina have gone way down.
- I’m hot and melting all night long, it’s miserable, reminds me of a weight loss drug that was black market for awhile…4-Dinitrophenol or DNP (related to 2-4D) … I wonder if it is a ‘natural’ drug hmm, see herbicide, seeing explosive, wood preserver, pesticide, industrial chemical – hmm, and this became used in humans how?
Protein is the most difficult macronutrient for the body to break down, requiring more energy and thus producing more heat compared to carbohydrates and fats.67 This process, known as thermogenesis, can cause discomfort and sweating if you consume a lot of protein at once.7
Symptoms of meat sweats can include excessive sweating, fatigue, trouble sleeping, a bloated stomach, and a stomachache.7 Some people also experience hot flashes and discomfort due to the increased body temperature
I wasn’t eating that much, usually a ‘small bowl of cereal’ sized serving of meat with extra butter as they said to add more butter to avoid constipation.
FEBRUARY 2025 STARTING WEIGHT 186.2
FEB. 10th 2025 Tired & Hot Flashes:
Waking up incredibly hot over and over again. It’s miserable. Too much magnesium? I have had trouble with nausea but I think it’s my stomach. Very tired this morning.
FEB. 11th 2025 I can’t drink Tea
Not up as much last night but took medicine to sleep. Not as many hot flashes or whatever the fuck. Nausea better – I think I’m allergic to ALL tea, not just green. Feeling pretty good. Bladder working like a fucking champion and not keeping me up all the time or running to the loo. It’s a good change and one I’ve had before giving up sugar. Missing sugar though, so we’ll see. Had two steak servings and pork in duck fat, had two apples and coffee.
FEB. 12th 2025 EPISODE
Had an episode last night which is probably unrelated to this diet. I had the best nap yesterday, real sleep. Blood glucose never over 130 on the CGM. Just had lunch and my blood glucose is EIGHTY-SIX!! Moving the cats onto this diet. I need to figure out exercise now, walking again? I don’t know, I need to do something. Weight was up. Taking: Magnesium Glycinate x2, Beef Liver, Vitamin C, Multi with a lot of B’s, L-Theanine, Psyllium with meals, Vitamin K. It’s very cold today but I am thinking about resuming exercise… I gotta get there or this is pointless. Today having an apple and pb, sausage and steak and chicken broth had coffee with heavy cream.
FEB. 13th 2025 EPISODE DID NOT SLEEP
Still a lot of fatigue, I didn’t sleep last night very well. I ordered a new scale. It’s so cold I have to weigh in with a lot of clothes on so idk, I’m under 190 for sure. Really bad storm today, really bad, 35mph winds slamming ice and snow everywhere, they’re calling it a polar vortex. Blood sugar is —– Great.
FEB. 14th 2025 Return of Seizures, Your subconscious mind interacts with physical reality.
Did not sleep well again last night.
Why does my seizure disorder have an element of the metaphysical?
We are experiencing a bomb cyclone of high winds, snow and ice. It’s the most bitterly cold weather we have had in years (that’s important – I’ll return to that). It started yesterday morning, I woke up with that dry racking cough that is persistent and the nausea eventually that eased up. Afternoon, seeing shit out of the corner of my eye, and usually that will be spidery shapes, like cephalopod-astral-spider creatures. It only lasts a split second but fuck, you know? And these can be small, they can be flying, they can be on me, they can be huge – but always out of the corner of my eye. NEW symptoms, a bright shining dot of light out of the corner of my eye, no contacts in btw, and it kinda shifts a bit and it’s usually in one eye and not the other but it seems to affect both eyes. This has happened only twice so who knows.
Evening. So when I’m seeing all these spidery shapes and jumping all day usually real spiders show up. Keep in mind is is cold as fuck and on the wall there is a faux widow solid black spider with its legs totally outstretched. Faux widows are common here but they tend to like corners, underneath things like their cousins and I’ve never seen one spread out on a wall before now. (Husband witnessed this also and killed the spider).
This was most notable during the time period I visited the ER and every time I would get into my car a fucking spider would surprise me by being on my person. This seemed impossible but then husband got in and jumped out of his skin a big spider was on him, and we also had numerous other insects, for which I had to pull over the car twice. Only in the period with the bad seizures and never before and never since and it goes on like that. The astral spiders bring in the real deal.
Before, I used to be scared of spiders but it’s on a different fucking level now. Where when surprised by one of the black ones like last night I both want to start hysterically screaming and vomiting. The reaction is so extreme and unlikely. Only the big black spiders though, crab spider – don’t care. Cob web provider – yawn. The big black ones come with a heaviness and suddenly I’m trapped, I can’t move and I’m using all my strength not to start screaming so fucking fucking hell what the fuck is that? I feel like it’s a key to my unconscious mind.
I have a long weird history with arachnids from a nest of brown recluse under my college bed (never got bitten) to a house that was infested with spiders by thousands – and thousands. I put down 65 glue traps, I filled 65 glue traps. I had to get rid of all my books because they were between the pages flattened out and hiding. Fucking hell – and it was a really nice condo, top of the line. Then Franklin-Spider-House, only place in Astoria probably totally ringed with giant spiders including the door when you knock, there was a hanger for a wreath or something totally covered over with webbing home to a freakish number of spiders and so many spiders in the windows I refused to clean them. To now – my house and shop are covered in spider goop and a couple of times a year we power wash it, and those are the black house spiders / wandering spiders, they make a little web, they have short legs. But the spiders that vex me like in my car appear to be wolf spiders or large black spiders. One time I had a spider on my ceiling as large as my splayed fingers on my hand, at least 5″ across and in Oregon – I don’t know we have a spider that size here. It was fucking giant.
Last night was having seizure trouble, panic and was going to get up and take Lorezepam (short acting Valium drug) which has an anti-seizure affect, but stopped myself and took a antihistamine to sleep instead and by this morning had forgot about the issue of the night – until the seizures hit around 10:30am and the migraine moved in.
POTENTIAL CAUSES:
- Low blood sugar
- Chocolate the day before (my own version of hot chocolate, heavy cream and real baking chocolate, chocolate can trigger migraines and seizures for me.)
- Low electrolytes
- Hormones (typically it’s hormones..
- Tums? I have been having stomach aches, it’s getting better but the tea really tore up my stomach so I have been popping Tums.
Before taking the anti-seizure medication (and I’m fucking stupid for not having done that already) I’m trying various supplements, electrolytes and other bullshit to see if I can avoid having this issue. I’m very foggy and keep misspelling things, can’t focus and not doing well. So we’ll see right? I don’t think it’s the Keto diet as I did this much worse in October but I worked out a lot in October so if a Magnesium issue or B12 issue or some sort of mineral is at fault that might explain it.
Otherwise keep having hot flashes from hell. It keeps me up a lot and I think that is probably from the diet and the electrolytes. Blood sugar has been perfections.
I was put on a special diet – basically meat & vegetables – in combination with magnesium (“CALM” – dissolved in hot water, goes more quickly through the lining of the stomach into blood stream) and 1 week later had a completely seizure-free e.e.g.
Epiliepsy Forum Shut Down Now
February 15th 2025 – Are the Seizures Migraines or the Migraines Seizures?
Wondering because of the bright shiny spots in the corner of my vision before being hit with the mother of all migraines. Maybe that was a regular old visual aura, as seizures can / do freeze some of my facial muscles. Today I have mostly drank coffee and slept – terrible migraine. Having a lot of deja vu.
After breakfast and after lunch:
SUNDAY FEBRUARY 16th – Still Working On This 190.2lbs GAIN
Ribeye is the superior steak, can confirm.
Not sleeping, still hot, going to start a protein shake for lunch because it’s kinda ‘predigested’ so apple and pb for breakfast, protein shake for lunch, meat for dinner. I did not have a shake for lunch: ribeye in the fridge calling my name. Put more butter on it today. Had some constipation. I usually have an apple a day with peanut butter, steak or meat, butter, heavy cream in coffee or half/half occasional small amount of orange juice. Took a nap today and slept during the nap well.
BEFORE:
WEEK 2
MONDAY FEBRUARY 17th 2025 186.4, Meditated, Went to the Gym, Went on a Bike Ride
Today I went to the gym and then came home and did a bicycle ride. Lots of people at the gym as it is President’s Day and everyone is off work.
There was a new SUV Mercedes stopped in the road staring at the drug house, windows rolled down. Motherfuckers finally rolled forward after nobody came out to give them a baggy. They rolled up on our house and we’re staring at them and they go, “we’re looking for birds.” And son goes, “hu, yeah, we got a few of those around here.”
I must have low blood sugar, I’m cranky and I have a headache. Had steak for lunch, apple for breakfast. Did not have dinner last night, skipped it. My poor liver is probably trying its hardest to churn through it’s massive sugar stores and put it into my blood stream but it’s been abused by years of sugar intake and food additives. Meh.
TUESDAY FEBRUARY 18th – more seizure activity, sugar back up: 96-133, BP 133/87 (much higher) did not have a lot of carbs or anything to account for that, but did workout yesterday. Weight is back down to 186.0 on the dot.
“Fat is liquid at 98.6°F. Fat ain’t clogging nothin’, unless you’re already dead and room temperature.” I like that quote. Anyway, let’s see…blood sugar was high today and last night was rough, lot of seizure activity which required a lot of meds.
Today I’ve just been cleaning, doing laundry, and taking care of little things. I hope my energy levels improve over all. Normally if I’ve had benedryl and seizure meds I’m gone the next day mentally but today I’ve been chipper and getting things done. I received some very cool packages today and I’m really excited about a couple of new things I’ll be doing. I had two steak meals and two apples and two cups of ginger tea today. Wondering if I can actually do this – 8 days is the longest I’ve ever successfully dieted I think. I was off and on Vegan / Vegetarian but that included chocolate and stuff. The only other times I lost weight I was going through a divorce or sick. I want to lose weight, get my health back and go visit Japan again and Korea. I like the order of the place. It’s scary now when I go out here. The stores have a lot of things locked up. Places are dirty and ill kept. We watch people sneak into Costco and steal people’s food at the food court. Economically all the belts are tightening. It’s really scary. In Japan there were a thousand stores with a thousand ideas and nooks and cranies.
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 19th 165.5, FBG: 116, RANGE: 75-152
Background blood sugar is stable but high again like I have infection or some stress happening. Hmm. I have lost a little weight finally though, down almost a pound in ten days. I think the autism is having more of an impact on me then I thought. I think I could work if I had a quiet space to do so without interruption.
FAILURE: THURSDAY FEB 20th 2025 DAILY AVERAGE 97-109 mg/dL, Weight: up, FBG: 113
So again high fasting glucose when I wake up. I am fatigued, anxious and feel like shit. I’m nine days in but am starting to question this diet. I’m not healing well still, that’s leftover from before but it hasn’t improved. I think my hair is falling out less ? I need to go to OMAD I guess and see if that helps. The inertia and inability to focus and the inability to get a lot done is crushing.
I broke down and had two Cokes and some Costco ice cream.
Low mood and just really stuck right now. Hubs has a trip planned to Osaka but I won’t be able to go. 🙁
CAN I PLEASE STOP BEING HOT AND SWEATING NOW? it keeps me up all night and sucks!!!
More Failure / End of Experiment Friday February 21st 2025 – More seizures, sweating all the time, and constipation. Keto / Carnivore totally fucked me – but my blood sugar and blood pressure were happy – I guess? So question is – wtf do I even eat tomorrow? Hey my ancestors would have been really fucking happy with a ribeye a day though, lol. Tomorrow I think I’ll do a week long fast of protein shakes and broth until I poop out all this fucking meat. *sigh*
