Sugar headaches....

Sugar headaches....

Oh good Ginger!

That sounds great. No, did not call the doctor. I hate dealing with 'getting to know ' a new doctor. Woke up with slight headache... Its getting stronger. So annoying. It is a bummer to have this headache as otherwise I would be feeling great. I may make a telephone appointment? They do it in the afternoon.

Let's see....

Sugar headaches....

Well dog gone it! I woke up with a little one this morning but I immediately knew what my problems was. It was super hot yesterday and I did a fair amount of sweating during my hike. I didn't drink nearly the water I needed to drink and for that matter I didn't even drink my normal amount. I woke up a little dehydrated this morning. It's gone now and I'm fine. Do you drink a lot of water?

Do you have access to a naturopath? I love my doctor now that I have one that practices the kind of medicine I'm into. The whole body approach not just one symptom. Just a thought.

Hey... Where are you located?

[Eloise]

Sugar headaches....

Dehydration is not the issue for me. I drink 1.5 liters of water daily and then tea and whatever else.
No wine anymore. The headache improved for a few hours and then returned. I am going to have to see someone. I can call. I hate going to the doctor. I don't like sitting there complaining. I know, it is stupid.

What is a naturopath? I will google it. Oh, I get. Probably? I have no clue. Everything is in Dutch. It is a good suggestion though. Something to research in August.
We are located in the Hague, near the sea.

Sugar headaches....

no headache today.
I want to note this here so I remember exactly how often this is happening.

[Eloise]

Sugar headaches....

revised: i actually woke up with one but am fine now - ate a peach before the gym and a proper lunch.

Sugar headaches....

This seems really odd to me. I'm glad you are considering seeing a doctor. A naturopath is a doc that specializes in healing the whole body not just giving you a pill for a specific condition. They are all about nutrition, exercise, mental health and physical ailments combined. I switched to mine about 5 years ago. My regular doc was a pill pusher and I hated to even go see her because it would always end badly. I questioned everything she said and she didn't like that at all. I do the same with the naturopath but he's willing to sit there and answer all my questions. He's a much better fit for me.

How is the sugar and AL going?

[Eloise]

Sugar headaches....

Well, there is no real problem with the AL, rather without the AL. For now anyhow. If I had a drink I know I would start the cycle all over again. A visit to my mother usually cures me of drinking for a while. Haha. That sounds terrible, but... She scares me sober.
(( My brain starts thinking omg, omg... you need all your brain cells honey!!! There is not one to spare!))
I am still wanting to eat sweets... 1-2 cookies... it's okay. I am not going to freak out about it. Or the extra 2 kilos.. yes it was two not one I have added.

I think maybe it's migraines again?
It is not normal. I always assumed it was the wine. My doctor used to give me migraine medicine to have around, just in case. When I have one for 3 days I would take it. I don't have anything for them now.
It is like I need something to really get rid of it.

Sugar headaches....

Heya... and congratulations on your 60 days! This is so great.

[Ginger999]

Sugar headaches....

I just realized we started our quit around the same time. We are quit sisters! Do you take magnesium supplements? My doc has me taking one a day. Migraines can be triggered by magnesium deficiencies, I think. It's a good suppliment for our bones too. You might read up on it and give it a try. It's a farely inexpensive suppliment. Let me know how it goes...... Feel free to private message me.

Wait... I just reread your signature line. You are more than 60 days - right? Oh and a couple of cookies a day doesn't seem too bad, especially if they are healthy cookies full of whole grains, nuts, dates, etc. ??

[Eloise]

Sugar headaches....

The infamous headache returned yesterday morning. Note: I am running low on the magnesium and haven't been taking it as consistently.

So, I took one yesterday morning, one in the afternoon and then again in the evening.
I went to bed with the headache but woke up without it. I think we are definitely onto something with this magnesium. Just wanted to share.

Sugar headaches....

If you like baths, soaking in an Epsom salts bath is a relaxing way to get some magnesium.

It is great to hear you doing so well (other than this latest headache ).

Sugar headaches....

Eloise, I am still getting terrible headaches.....must try magnesium. Never had these in any other quits.
Can go a couple of weeks then they just appear. Right now have had one for 2 days.....medication not making any real difference....
