> I feel like Parnate messed up my carbohydrate metabolism because I feel differently after every meal. I also feel differently depending on the level of carbos in my diet. Within 2.5 hours of eating, I can actually feel insulin levels go down because I lose the ability to thing clearly. For example, it's difficult to think about how to solve a math problem. I have difficulty finding words, etc., etc. On the other hand, after eating meals, I have difficulty concentrating. I can think clearly as long as I keep a fairly high level of carbs in my diet.
> SherryI was suprised to hear this - I just figured that out a few weeks ago after 2 years of almost narcolepsy!
I used to eat breakfast every morning, 2-4 bowls of cereal. Just always have.
In the past year or two I have been spontaneously falling asleep at around 10am-12pm.
Not good when your boss finds you curled up under your desk asleep...
Yep, I feel the same too. After eating most meals, around 15-45 mins later I get this incredible urge to sleep
like 50+ mg of temazepam.. weird.. normally you can shake off sedative effects and still stay conscious.
it's like trying to resist a general anaesthetic!So yes I have also found that eating early in the day is very similar to having 12 hours sleep (like when you feel OK when you go to bed but wake up wishing you'd stayed awake because you feel miserable).
Now I just have a cup of tea in the morning, and I feel a lot more energetic.
I haven't isolated exactly what it is that screws up your mind when you eat but so long as you're aware of it you can manage it.thanks for sharing your info, while it's awful someone else has this it's also relieving for me because it means I'm not delusional :)
