Question
Diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which causes pain throughout the body and weakness. In the recovery stages from shingles. Additionally, there are neurological symptoms of decreased sensation, currently under investigation. Taking regular medications: Omeprazole, Aspirin, and Gabapentin. Family doctor thinks fasting might be dangerous. I asked if drinking nourishing drinks like a rich shake would be sufficient, she said it sounds adequate provided that if there is a worsening, I immediately stop fasting and eat normally. On a regular day, if more than four or five hours pass after a meal, I start feeling really unwell, and it takes time to recover even after eating. What is the right thing to do?
Answer
Hello
Start with drinking in portions as you wrote.
If there is a worsening, eat normally.
