THE KETO DIET SENT ME TO THE ER!

welcome to the thrill of hope my name is davina and I am making those spiritual and physical changes and I'm sharing my journey with you well if you've been with me from the beginning you notice that the last couple of weeks I have not given an update and the reason is because I got really really really sick to make a very very long story short the last time that I didn't update that particular day that I filmed I was feeling very very sick I actually had tingling up and down the left side of my body it felt like the left side of my body was falling asleep which was really strange because I can move it but I didn't really understand it so I thought maybe I'm dehydrated or whatever so I mean I was drinking lots of water I was just doing my normal routine but as the week went on I kept getting weaker and weaker after about a week is's Saturday hits and that particular day Hadassah had a dance rehearsal and I wanted to take her to the dance rehearsal but I told will like I don't have the energy like I can't go it was really strange I just had so much fatigue and I began to notice like I couldn't make it from one part of the house to the other without stopping to take a break so if I was going to the bathroom I always stopped in my bedroom and I have to sit on the bed because I did not have the energy to go to the bathroom I always had to stop to take a break and that was really really strange so by eight o'clock that night when will was putting the girls to bed I finally collapsed on the floor in my bedroom it was as if I had zero energy I had nothing left it was so bizarre and so will finds me and he's like this is not normal we need to go to the hospital and I was just like no because I had a doctor's appointment on Monday just my regular annual checkup I was just like Wicky we can just make it because I'm thinking that this was all because of a virus and I'm coming up with a flu or something like that the weirdest thing about this whole experience is that I don't get sick when I say I'm sick or not feeling well it usually has to do with allergy or I got a random stomach virus or something but I just get sick you know I'm laying there and I'm telling well no we can't go we don't need to go to the hospital you're overreacting and he's getting really upset with me which I can tell because he's like this is not normal finally I get up I make it to the couch and Will's doing something in the house I don't really remember why I got up but I got up from the couch and collapsed again and that time it scared me because there's a disconnect between my mind in my body I was like my mind wanted to move when my body couldn't and it was just so bizarre so finally we'll call the ambulance and I landed in the ER we are currently at the hospital Davina is on week 4 of her keto diet and we don't know if that's why we're here or something else but she was having trouble breathing and when I found her on the floor in the bedroom and she could barely talk I saw the ambulance even though somebody didn't want me to thank you her first time in the ELISA thing we get the veil and hey your life is worth more so I'll pay it first time in the ER but she's on some IV right now I just want my baby to be all right got the family praying I've been praying gonna be alright baby fortunately for me when I came to the ER it was very quiet wasn't a busy night so I got a lot of attention and they tested me for everything under the Sun they even did a CT scan they tested me for a stroke their test me so many things that it was actually like concerning me I like to something really being wrong with me so all of my tests come back normal they're pumping me with an IV and I'm starting to feel better and I'm thinking to myself will has completely overreacted you know called an ambulance we open this hospital for no reason well finally the ER doctor comes in and lets me know that all my tests come back normal but when he did find was that I had an eight percent water depletion which basically means I was dehydrated and the second thing he said was that all of my urine and blood tests know that it looks like I'm starving myself and we'll had told the doctor that I was on the keto diet and the ER doctor said that I was the fourth person he had seen that week because of the keto diet I was really surprised by that I definitely did not think it would be the keto diet I don't think anything was wrong with the keto diet or anything like that so after a few hours of being in the emergency room and being pumped with the IV I actually felt better and I was able to walk out of the hospital and go home and I just thought oh okay I was just like maybe I just need to drink more water I didn't eat more calories and I'll be fine fortunately you guys this happened after my kids were in bed and neighbor came and watched the kids so my kids have zero idea that anything happened they didn't know the ambulance was there anything they just left right through it Sunday it was a death had abscess dance recital I couldn't make it because I was too weak and I developed a migraine I mean I'm talking to flashes of light seeing got migraine and it never went away it never gave me any relief Monday I meet with my regular doctor for an annual my regular doctor told me the exact same thing I was experiencing all of this because I was not eating enough calories on the keto diet he said that I'm experiencing glycogen depletion I don't know why doctors have had fancy names for stuff but basically when I went into ketosis my body just completely shut down he told me to just eat a normal diet he was like eat carbs and drink lots of liquids but the most important thing to do is eat and I should feel better it took me a week before I even got close to feeling better I was eating pasta for breakfast lunch and dinner I was doing everything I could to get rid of these symptoms and I had a long list of symptoms and I'm not going to bore you with some of them are gross but the biggest one was my migraine and my lack of energy I just thought it was crazy I'm like there is no way that I could have gotten this because of the keto diet I've been doing great on the keto diet and I felt like I've done plenty of diets where I've eaten less than 1,600 calories and I was fine I end up in the hospital but since I was on the couch a lot and I had a long time to myself where I could do nothing I mean absolutely this is nothing I went back on my fitness pal and I looked at all of the food I have been eating and if I took away the fat bombs if I take away the keto coffee if I take away the calories from the coconut oil and different things like that that I was eating most days I was eating about 900 calories a day from actual food that's it there's even one day that I only ate 400 calories of actual food so here's my takeaway from this super long story there's nothing wrong with the keto diet both the ER doctor and my regular doctor both told me that the keto diet is fine the problem was that I do not eat enough calories and my body went it's a straight-up starvation mode so I don't know what I'm going to do I go back and forth because that sickness was traumatizing for me I was scared I thought I was dying I was just so overwhelmed with that experience that I don't even want to do the keto diet anymore then I say well maybe I'll do this other day that I have success on but I hated that diet and I really like the keto diet and I go back and forth and back and forth right now today I don't know what I'm going to do I am honestly dealing with a lot of discouragement because I felt like I was doing the right thing I thought like I was doing the good thing and I had the most important ingredient of losing weight and I had the mind to do it my mind said I was so focused I never cheated I was like on it 100% it's like one step forward a five steps back I'm at a crossroads right now today as I'm filming I haven't no idea what I'm going to do but I am praying about it so I will make a decision about what I'm going to do I'm going to milk prep and I will let you all know next week if I'm going to continue the keto diet if so what changes I'm going to make if not I'll let you know what I'm doing thank you all for hearing my super long story about what happened I hope that it was informative that you understand why I was gone for two weeks I love you all I'm praying for you and I will see you next week for an update but if you enjoy watching the vlog which I encourage you to do I'll see you tomorrow
