A month of eating meat
It's a month since I gave up being vegetarian, and I feel so much better! From constant pins and needles, to only sometimes but still every day took a couple of days, and then from about a week in, I've had nothing like that. My legs hurting so much I cried myself to sleep went straight I started eating meat; within a day, my legs didn't hurt. My sleep pattern has gone from 2 nights of 5 hour and 1 of 8 to mostly 8 hours sleep a night, and I'm associatedly less exhausted, dizzy etc.
Apparently - and this is something I didn't really internalise at the time - most vegetarians don't have constant pins and needles/numbness. I'tsn ot just that I'm a wuss, it really was unhealthy.
I even managed to have a day or two of no meat without sliding back, so I'm hopeful that I'll be OK to go back to how I was before (although even before I ever went vegetarian, when I ate meat most days, I was starting to choose vegetarian by default when eating out etc, and I have three vegetarian partners, so it's easier to make family meals mostly veggies).
