>Well, I've never gone into a coma. I have gotten extremely (read: almost >killing) angry. Then I have gotten so fatigued and woozy, I've laid my >head >down and cried. Then I've fainted (walking or not). I've never gone into a coma, either, but just one day of fasting puts me at risk for seizures. Until September, this only meant losing my ability to read and speak for about 90 seconds (I had a benign malformation removed from my left temporal lobe in '93). But September's event saw me wind up unconscious and in an ambulance before I "woke up" and I'm STILL dealing with a $464 bill. Without insurance, I'd be paying close to $2,000. Disgusted with a picture of myself taken without my knowledge, I decided to crack down and lose more weight, dammit, and fasted yesterday. About two hours ago, I suffered a seizure some seven minutes before my newscast (only complex-partial, thank Godde). Not my idea of a fasting benefit. Translation: If significant periods without food make you feel good, by all means, enjoy. But fasting may not be good for some. One size does not fit all.
