Getting tired after eating is normal. You’ve probably seen the lions having a kip under a tree after a kill – it’s a very primal thing.

Being alert when you’re hungry is also normal – makes sense to be at your peak so you can hunt and kill food.

Smaller meals, on the ketogenic side – more protein/fat/veg and less carbs will almost certainly help.

On the carbs front it surprises people that potatoes can cause more of a blood sugar peak than pure sugar.

The blood sugar hit is also called the “Glycaemic index” – Google it!

Some examples of the GI rating of various carbohydrates include:

• low GI (less than 55) – soy products, beans, fruit, milk, pasta, grainy bread, porridge and lentils
• medium GI (55 to 70) – orange juice, honey, basmati rice and wholemeal bread
• high GI (greater than 70) – potatoes, white bread and short-grain rice.

I agree with LG……since reading about Professor Gane’s comments (not just on this thread) I have been worried. Up until I read the thread I wasn’t. I have no doubt that the meds were tested properly before I received them but the niggling doubt that I may relapse has now been planted. I I think I will stop reading for a few weeks until I get my first lot of post treatment results back (3 weeks’ time.

Oh Ariel I had no idea how you had suffered….I’m so sorry. At four weeks already……you will be a new person woman! Good for you taking on the system.

Pat I am so sorry for your loss.

Those on this Forum are so strong and I admire each and every one of you.

Congratulations Em for your EOT. Thank you for support and advice throughout my journey (which goes for all on the Forum of course). Seems there are quite a few of us now just waiting for the post 4 and 12 weeks result. Look forward to seeing all the positive results.

Cheers Lynne

What many people don’t realise about Tassie is that it’s much easier to get burnt than you think.

If you look at the UV index for Hobart

http://www.bom.gov.au/tas/uv/hobart.shtml

And then for Sydney

http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/uv/sydney.shtml

You can notice several things. Yes the extreme period for Sydney from 12-2 is a little wider but other the very high and high periods are very similar.

The significant thing is that because it’s cooler in Hobart so easier to be out in the Midday sun, whereas in Sydney the heat encourages you to seek shade.

Hi All,

So the sample eventually arrived and has been tested:

Hi James

Your recent Sofosbuvir sample is identical to all other Sofosbuvir spectra recorded here. Spectrum attached.

Cheers

Here is the NMR spectrum on it:

All very reassuring.
