Hi everybody,

I have become increasingly tired over the past week, and I've been doing what I always do sleepwise. Sometimes I walk down the street, and my leg muscles are not cramping but feel extremely tired (not weak). My heart pounds like crazy after going up the same set of stairs I've been climbing for almost 3 years now on my way to work. I have to stop and take a breather!!

I feel heavy in my chest, and have been feeling short of breath sometimes. Is this a ketosis effect? I have lost some pounds and inches, but lately, I'm not feeling "normal". I'm still on induction, started on 4/18/04.

My plan is to go check it out with the doctor but I am wondering if anyone here has clues about the physical "effects" of being on induction for longer than 2 weeks. I hate to say this, but I "feel" as if my chest has got a lead weight on it, even when I'm resting.

I'd appreciate any feedback on this - I'm a little worried.
