Hey inky, thx for the kind words! It could have been the gumdrops. It was seeming like the klebs just really had a powerful hold in me, plus the lovely cold weather, I think I am just the case that needed a fast to break the kleb's hold. I was pretty bad off all week/weekend.
I am better overall since nsd. Its more localized in the arms/hands and not everywhere whilly nilly.
Now I'm 20 hours into my fast and starting to feel better. My jaw, feet and hips are back to normal and my right hand is feeling better. Not 100% but enough result to keep going on the fast. The random shooting wrist pains even while resting have seemed to abate for now. Right now I just want to see if I can get a decent night's sleep and then I'll decide how many more hours to fast. By morning it will have been 34 hours, water and a few vitamins only.
I think of John fasting 24 days and I want to cry tears of blood for him. I nearly wretched making my family dinner tonight. Oh the smells.

24 days. He deserves a trophy.
