i can't say for certain as I am not a doctor which is what you really need. I am very concerned that you are not eating OR drinking even water. YOu must drink water, your body is very likely dehydrated and that may be the symptoms that you are experiencing. Without water you will die. Please hon, if you can't get something in your body, you need to get to the ER.

Hi was just reading this. Are you okay? You don't seem to have posted since. Please at least drink water it has zero calories anyway.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I am glad to hear that you are going to see the doctor tomorrow. You may try drinking Fiji water as it has minerals in it and may help,

i went to see my doctor i hsve to go back in the morning for blood tests then go back and see her in a few days when the results are back she said i have to let her weigh me because she needs to compare my weight with the tests which i dont understand i think she just wants to know how much i weigh

I hope you are doing well/better...? I was also thinking, have you tried drinking TAO teas? I get them at whole foods but I bet you can find them at some grocery stores.. I get the zero cal ones. They are just tea. But i find they taste better than water and the tea has some benefit for your body. There are other brands too, Steaz, Honest Tea, etc. THey all offer some zero cal ones so you don't have to stress about the calories and it is better for your body then adding sugar or even sugar free mixes. Have you heard back from the dr. yet?
