Doreen,

You have answered questions that I haven't even asked yet Fatigue & headaches have been persistent companions for 2-3 weeks (I'm 5.5 weeks into LC). Alas, I didn't start taking a good multivit & min until last week. Fatigue is abating, especially if I'm able to get enough sleep, but the headaches continue. 10 days ago I bought "half-salt" that is half table salt & half potassium chloride. I don't tend to use salt except for a little sprinkle on my eggs.

Additionally, I notice that my headaches appear or worsen when I'm getting close to the next meal or have had a *very* LC meal.

Typical menu:

B: 3 egg omelet with 1 oz cheese,
1 or 2 X week 2 oz ham
OR bacon & eggs

L: can of tuna with mayo & pepper
1 cup romaine with 1T caesar dressing
1 or 2 hard boiled eggs or 2 oz string cheese

D: chicken, fish, steak with Mrs Dash or lemon jc marinade
salad or steamed broccoli/butter
diet jello

I have headaches in the morning every day. Should I be having more carbs in AM? Any other suggestions? I'm sure you do, you seem to be the scientific/medical guru on this site

Oh yeah: Type 2 on glucophage 500mg 3x daily
