Ouch!
Today was one hell of a day. I started my new herb and vitamin regimen. That wasn’t too terrible. It was the water that did me in. I dont drink water normally. Simply because I can not drink tap water, and bottled water just taste outright disgusting. But today I made myself drink nearly 70 oz of water (thats a lot of water if you do not normally drink water). All day I have had a killer headache. I always get headaches when I drink water, and usually I just stop with the water. But I really do want to flush my system by drinking lots of water. And I do not want to quit. I sure hope that this is only a transition thing and that in a couple of days the headaches will be gone.
On a good note the headaches almost made my other pains seem bearable. I have had more pains today than I normally do. Hopefully that is a transition thing too.
I have really enjoyed the veggie juice (V8) though. Love the ‘Hot and Spicy’ kind. Yummy! It made me feel like I had been eating. Normally I have some really awful eating habits. I can go a whole day without food and then at night I totally pig out. Not very healthy. The V8 makes me feel like I am actually eating. So when dinner time comes around I dont feel like eating as much as I normally do.
Maybe I will finally loose those 20 lbs that I have been wanting to loose for years. Kill two birds with the same stone.
I have been a little shaky today too. Maybe it is a side effects of all the new herbs, vitamins, water, and V8 that I am not used to. Hopefully it is. Might go away when my body has adjusted to all this.
Another thing I have noticed the last 3 weeks is that my temp. hasnt gone below 98.5 degrees F. Isnt that weird? Will have to ask the dr next time I talk with him.
I do think I have made up my mind about ever going to see that neuro again. I really just do not like her. So either I will have my reg. dr refer me to someone else, or just totally give up on dr’s and deal with this myself. That scares me a little though. But if/when I get my blood test results and they come back normal, and the dr is convinced that it is fibromyalgia, then why bother with a dr. There is no cure. And considering I refuse to take synthetic meds, there really is no need for a dr. When I went to Show Low Friday I met a most wonderful lady at La Vida (healthfood and vitamin store). She helped me so much picking the stuff I needed. She told me about other resources. And generally was of way more help than my dr’s have ever been.
