Title: Sweet tooth
Post by Marta on Apr 1^st, 2005, 3:13pm

Does anyone else also have a sweet tooth during CH time or am I just a greedy bastard?

I have no clue…I don’t usually have a sweet tooth (unless it’s Girl Scout cookies – only the Samoas). My weakness is salty stuff, pretzels, crackers, chips…

There’s a few chocoholics here that might be able to assist you further…

Welcome by the way!

Since the hypothalamus also has something to do with appetite I always am famished just before and following a bout. I go through a lot of chocolate like a giant can of hershey's syrup a month, eight pounds. I also eat one of them seven ounce bars daily. It's health food.

Hershey's with almonds, one a day. Sometimes two, I just gotta have it. Got a stash hidden at home. I have a terrible sweet tooth, but I don't indulge it too much. Especially before I get hit.

Chocolate is my main food group. Always has been, it's likely that it always will be. :-/ I really thought that the magnesium supplements would help. They don't. :-/

I'm not normally a sweet lover ... would much prefer noodles and mashed potatoes. However, if on a Prednisone taper during cycle, I simply MUST have Heath Bars ... lots of them ... much of the time! I've been known to cruise town at 3 AM looking for one.

While I truly enjoy sweets (especially chocolate), I have lost eleven pounds during this cycle. Probably associated with the Topamax. This cycle is just about done, but I may stay on the Topamax until I get down to my optimum weight. Six more pounds to 155.

Before you jump on me, I am kidding. This medicine has had no noticeable effect on this cycle except to perhaps minimize the intensity of the headaches, and I will be tapered off in four more days.

What meds are you taking? One of the many meds I have taken specifically stated that craving for sweets was a side effect. I don't remember which one, though.
