Issues at the interface of Mavis, community-based psychiatric services and the mentally normal

[Mitchy1nge]

I think that covers us all?

can NOT stop thinking about mp's fish and chips

am cold and hungry enough for that, with lots of vinegar

will that clumsiness wear off?

I dunno. I was clumsy as fuck for many years on a lot of the psych drugs I've been on, though, so maybe not. Psychiatrists never seem to care about non-fatal physical side effects though - usually they seem to consider a little clumsiness or memory loss or drowsiness or diabetes a reasonable price to pay for amelioration of mental symptoms. So I don't expect to get taken too seriously tomorrow. There's also probably not much else I can take if they're stretching the budget to pregabalin

The annoying thing is that it does seem to be helping me mentally; I'm just not sure if it's worth the mental and physical side effects.

vets are the same when it comes to giving animals nasty steroids 'better pred than dead' they always say

is v early days though, you can't have had more than 3 or 4 doses yet? hopefully the unwanted effects will lessen

my food tastes amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing

inspired use of chili grinder at the last minute there mitchy

DP had pred for a few weeks; scary stuff but SO effective.

Mmm, chilli always helps.

Yes, only had it a few days.

happy munching sounds from me

how's ankle?

Mitchy my dish and chips were lovely but they had no pickled onions. Boo.

Fish, not dish, stupid clumsy fingers.

life is cruel :( but soon you will be in NEW YORK!

argh

approaching final forkfuls of veg and 'feta' combo

don't want it to end

Less pain but haven't tried walking on it for a bit Still compressing/elevating and have got DP to defrost me an emergency muffin (flaxseed and almond flour; low net carb but highly calorific).

foodismedicine as they say

Muffins doubly so.

may not have achieved fastest mile (was 8:42) but have definitely set a record for biggest bowl of veg consumed in very short time

Rah. Sounds lovely.

Those pakora have put my %kcal from carbs today up to 35%

100g carbohydrates all at once. I daren't check my blood sugar

we need to swap meals!

am meant to get at least 50% of my calories from carbs

I aim for carbs/protein/fat of 15/15/70, but am usually closer to an average of 20/25/55.

so running lore has it anyway

Mine is for blood glucose and blood lipid control. I also avoid processed meat and saturated fats, as far as is possible on a high fat diet, and try to limit protein to protect my kidneys. I also avoid eating carbs alone - so I don't eat fruit without something fatty with it (and even then only a little bit).

good old mfp

last 7 days: carbs 39% fat 42% protein 19%

average net daily cals are a fucking disgrace

argh

haven't looked at the nutrition breakdown bit for ages
