For the first 4-6 months after the injury I craved sugar badly. I am a rare sugar girl. I love my savory (can't tell u how long I had to wait for that word to come back to me. I used all my word finding already this morning up in the games and chat section with Mark) foods.
I ate foods I don't enjoy. Lots of baked goods- coffee cakes, pastries, pancakes, waffles. Okay I do eat a Belgian waffle if we go to Gatlinburg. So once every 2-3 years.
So when my doctor told me I don't process glucose like everyone without an injury it left me curious.
Does anyone else hit that brick wall? That's just what I call it. No matter how badly my motivation not one more action can be taken. I must rest or sleep.
