Kathy and Seto Kaiba,
Thanks so much for calming me! I really cant believe how bad I feel. It makes me wonder how filled with sugar I was before starting Lc to not even notice how puffy and swollen I was!!
Anyway, I too am being really careful now, not having any salt(only Salt Subst.) and no foods with high salt(sausage or bacon ) and I'm praying that by Wed. New Years EVe, I will be less puffy and feeling like i can walk! We are going camping with a bunch of friends and I'd really like to be able to get inside my tent without a forklift to help me

What is the scientific reason for the achiness or is that just because of the swelling that my joints hurt so bad??

Thanks for the info...you guys are awesome!
