Stoopid head...

[byslantedlight]

Despite having quite a nice, relaxed weekend, I woke up again this morning with a head/eye/faceache. Waaaaah! On the bright side, I did do something yesterday which I've not done in recent days without a headache - had vintage cheese in my sandwich and had yoghurt in my dinner. So... maybe it's that, so all I'd need to do was try to avoid dairy like the plague... which is a bit of a bugger, to be honest, but I would really like to never have this headache again, cos ow!

Also - work. Of course. I must work, with this headache, which is making me very fed up indeed. There's only one thing for it.

Random picspam with our lads.

Other days... Although looking at the pic on the left, I'm wondering if Doyle might take up the violin now that they've retired to the Half Moon... *g*

Love them sharing coffee... it's the little things. *g* One of my favourite scenes is actually in No Stone at the end, where they trade the cup of coffee back and forth so naturally...

Suppose I'd better get back to work now... both corporate-sodding-business type docs today... *sighs* I miss Friday.

Ouch - I hope your head is feeling better by now. Bugger if you have to give up dairy; I would hate to give up cheese in particular. Could it be sinus problems, though, rather than a food sensitivity? Not that it would be any less painful, but at least you wouldn't be feeling painful AND deprived if that were the case.

My head's just thinking about being better now - I have great hopes for tomorrow! I did think it was a sinus thing originally, for years, actually, but then I coincidentally stopped having milk in my coffee (sometimes I go off it and just prefer it black) and also didn't have yoghurt on my breakfast fruit for a week, and I felt so much better! So I started wondering about the whole dairy thing... I ,really don't want to be intolerant of it, let alone allergic, but I'm going to keep experimenting with avoiding it and then trying little bits. In this case I'd say the yoghurt in my salad/dinner was a mistake... We'll see - I'm just glad it finally seems to be clearing!

It's funny how something you've eaten for years can be making you feel off, and you don't even realise until you stop. Like just about everyone in the world I grew up eating bread just about every day, right up until about 12 months ago when I cut it from my regular diet. Weekend before last I was feeling hungry when I did my weekly shop, and caved in, buying a loaf of my favourite multi grain bread, and I went back to taking a sandwich to work for lunch. Over the last week my brain has felt progressively more foggy, and by yesterday I was really struggling to concentrate at work. It has to be the bread! I did feel a lot clearer-headed today; "Grain Brain", it appears, is a real thing, at least for me.

Reeeeally belated reply, cos this got lost in my inbox, but here's interesting (well, to me!) - I managed to avoid both dairy and wheat yesterday, and I woke up without a headache this morning! I also realised that what I thought was a mystery-headache last week, because I'd definitely avoided dairy, was probably because I forgot that flour is, by definition, wheat, and used it in some cooking - a minor, minor amount, but I guess my brain is counting it all. I can't believe I've come up so sensitive to these things now, but I guess I'm joining you in Grain Brain!
