    Day 4, very sick

    I made it to day 4 but feel like junk.I dont think it is Atkins Flu, I have fever, sinus congestion and headache. Oh and did I mention it feels like I swallowed razor blades. I had to up my Prednisone to 5mg. Still going to hang in there though. Maybe I will spend the day in bed.
    I was a paramedic for 10 years. Severe lung disease and prednisone left me 200 lbs overweight!!
    Last Weight at MD=389
    Measurements
    Upper Chest=59''
    Waist = 65''
    Hips= 56''
    Thighs= 30''

    That sounds horrible!! I bet some warm chicken broth would feel good on your sore throat.

    I hope that you feel better soon!!

      The fever leads me to believe that it's not the Atkins Flu. Rest and fluids are ALWAYS a good thing! Take care of yourself!!

        It could be a combo (how fun is that?)

        I always get atkins flu around day four, but it is usually gone in 24 hours. Hang in there and take care of yourself!
        149.8/no weigh/ 119



        1st goal: 139 (earlier weight)
        what the rungs mean to me:
        rung 1 - more veggies
        rung 2 - dairy (some milk in coffee)
        rung 3 - seeds, nuts (mostly sprinkled on salads)
        rung 4 - berries, melon
        rung 5 - wine -
        rung 6 - beans, hummus
        rung 7 - other fruits
        rung 8 - carrots/ potatoes (nah, prolly not)
        rung 9 - whole grains (fresh Dutch breads...)
        Major Goal - 128 lbs/ healthy range
        (on to pre-maintenance)

            Thanks everyone, Usually the fever is indicative of the lung disease. As long as pneumonia doesn't return I will be ok. Thank you.
