Kelly, sorry to hear you are feeling so miserably. Have you tried drinking lots of water? Also eating small snacks. If I do not drink lots of water and eat healthy snacks I feel awful. I have had my husband stop at the store when we have been out riding for the day and get a snack bar, yogurt, or even a milk shake. I try to stay away from junk food such as chips, candy, sweets. If I don't drink water continuously all day I feel weak and just plain sick. It is amazing how fast that feeling goes away once I start drinking or eat a snack. I even get up in the night and drink water several times if I remember I will put a large glass of water by my bed. I think it has to do with the blood sugar dropping similiar to diabetics. Perhaps, this is something you can experiment with. Hope this helps. hugs, Sandy
