Were you possibly not eating enough vegetables on low carb? There is a common misconception that low carb means next to no veggies but I would never recommend that. The basic concept is less grains and other starchy carbohydrates (wheat, other flours, possibly rice, pastas, etc.), and less sugars including fruit sugars, but vegetables are good in any diet. With few exceptions (like if you're allergic to tomatoes or corn or whatever) lots of vegetables are a good idea.
Of course, just because I do best on a carnivore's diet doesn't mean everyone else will.
There are also different variations on the low carb theme. For instance, some people need to avoid gluten and just removing wheat and some other flours make the difference. Some have big problems with fruit.Some can eat just about any whole foods but really have to stay away from "enriched" devitalized foods. Some are better with whole grains. The main thing is that the types of foods, and amounts needed are unique to the individual's own body's needs, not some dietary chart.
It's just a matter of finding out which ones work best for you and which ones don't.
That's always the acid test. You'll know if a diet is a good one for you or not by how you feel on it. If it makes you feel worse, something definitely needs changing. :-)
Whey protein has helped you in the past? Getting some more sounds like a good idea.
I am actually doing a lot of computer time. I post here on EmpowHer.com, and on my website Ncubator.ca, and have recently started a blog. I post on a forum for people with CFS that is getting pretty interesting.
I post on a writers' forum as well. And I have recently started to do some freelance writing, and am looking for more of that.
It feels really good after being unable to do anything like this for so long. Alot has changed in 3 months.:-)
Is it more time than I spent with my first website, Ncubator.com, do you mean?
Nope. I spent easily twice as much time every day on Ncubator.com. Loved every minute of it too. :-)
I'm not up to that kind of energy consumption yet but I am being pleasantly surprised every day with just how much I am up for, and there seems always to be just ... a little ... more room for just ... a little ... more writing. :-)

Hi Mera
I'm sorry to hear your symptoms got worse.
