The first few days when the carbs are leaving my system I crave really strange things that I don't normally eat. Like cherry pie, frosting in the can, and tiramesu (sp?). Has anyone else had that kind of experience??

Yes!

It goes away after about 48-72 hours, but it's a real uphill battle during that time.

It took me about two weeks for those cravings to go away. I also just felt drawn and faint a lot. It was weird, I felt like the blood was being drained from my face, particularly right in front of my ears and around my hairline. But I've always gotten odd phantom pains when I'm going through carb withdrawal, like an ache in my throat and a sharp pain on the top of my head, as if someon has placed a big butcher knife on my skull and is rocking it back and forth.

Damn. I hope you are feeling okay now.

Radio Shack sells this neat little doorbell that uses batteries; at least they used to.
