I feel better if I don’t eat
I live with severe autonomic dysfunction and what I’ve noticed is that the only thing that helps me feel a bit better is if I don’t eat. I don’t get my usual symptoms and I generally just feel better. It’s like everything gets triggered if I put food inside my body and it has to start the digest process.
The last two weeks I’ve only been eating around 500-1000 kcals per day and as soon as I start to eat more it’s absolutely unbearable. I become bedbound and sometimes I can’t even move. I’ve lost a lot of weight obviously lately and have never been this skinny before. I’m glad Iv’e found something that helps but how is this a long term solution though?
