Whoa I really feel sick ... but I had lunch with friends on Sunday before I really crashed and burned!!!

Image: (L-R) Waqar (his wife's having a little 'un a couple of months before we have Lambykins!!!), Iain, Dan, Emily, Richard, Leucha, James, me. We're at the Crown in Islington. Very nice it was too. 


SO the nausea isn't easing ... it's worse.

Partly, of course, it's the baby, and added to that I have been less than exemplary with my food choices. (Ate properly at the lunch, it was dessert when Leucha & James came over ... I am such a greedy fool).

So in a way I berate myself for doing this to myself, and on the other hand understand completely that I am under such a lot of pressure (from myself, from the dietician, from all the advice from doctors, books, other people ...) that I was quite likely to get to this low. Still, understanding what's happening to me if not going to take it all away. Action is required, and so far this morning I have only just managed to take my Metformin ... I know I scheduled eggs for this morning ... which means I have to get up and prepare them shortly. Urgh. 

I think as long as I don't take care of myself, I will be unhappy. I also think I know how to feel well, and I am not strong enough to be ill all the time ... so I need to try and be well. It will be easier than this awful feeling of miserable sickness. 

Had a nice time with Leucha and James (they visited this weekend) and we all have a nice lunch in London [See PICTURE]. Iain and I went on to overdo it and go to Selfridges to buy the Venezuelan Black chocolate for Iain to cook with. Am looking forward to that! We were both very dehydrated and feeling rough by the time we got home.

I had lactase tablets + lactose products over the weekend with interesting results. It appears the tablets if taken a half hour in advance of the food do work. I have had little hydrogen being generated, and no bloating to the extreme. I suspect some of my nausea now is lactose-related. 

It's good that it's not TOO BAD (not too bad??? WHAT??? I feel sick as a pig.)
