Health-a-licious

Okay, so today was supposed to be all about finding more foods and has turned into another search for help with vitamins, prescriptions and juice and snacks. Vitamins and prescriptions So, it turns out that the progesterone from last week was not the reason I did not have a headache. I just thought it was. Ahhh....maybe it was a placebo effect. All blood tests from 2 physicians came back normal accept two; low Vitamin D and high thyroid levels. Great news! No "evidence of cancer". That is the new way of physicians saying "cancer free". I did try another new prescription last week. The physicians and pharmacists say chances are the new prescription did not throw me into a headache (only 50% of people who try it get headaches) What? 50%! And you give a prescription that causes headaches to a person with chronic headaches. Really? They were banking on the chance it wouldn't cause a headache, I guess. Very low vitamin D. So apparently my body is not absorbi...

Yes, yes...I made a Seinfeld reference. LOL. Festivus for the rest of us. It is a fictional holiday in which family members get together one time a year, share their grievances with or about each other and then physically wrestle each other. The winner gets the family trophy or "pole" as in the TV program. If you have not seen this episode of the Seinfeld sitcom, it is a must. For the last 7 years at least four times a year I have a Festivus conversation with my health care professionals. All different types of professionals. Homeopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists, herbalists, massage therapists, fertility specialists, surgeons, physicians, nurses assistants, physicians assistants, ex-ray techs, phlebotomists, etc. You name it...they have heard my Festivus conversation about my body. My gazillion complaints about how bad my body treats me.  My  complaints have been many, from gaining weight for no reason to losing weight for no reason, from headaches that are monthly t...

This is my journey of on and off the wagon this week. Weird roller coaster ride. Off the Gluten Free Wagon 1, Uh oh..thought I would try a frozen pizza two Friday's ago. Simple easy. An hour later...headache. No fun. I was hoping it would not be like the ginger ale incident and have a headache for 8 hours. I went to bed hoping that when the food is out of my system, the headache will be gone too. 2. I was on the go-go-go with family.  From family in town for one day to hospital visit and multiple hospice visits. No time to stop and eat a sensible meal. I tried a hamburger and fries on different days. I ate as little of the bun as possible and did not have any "gut" reaction or headache response. I thought...good, but odd. Always keeping in mind I am trying to find the food answer to health. On the Gluten Free Wagon 1. On another day I ate some "Gluten-Free" labeled brown rice seasoned chips. Just because I felt like it. These are labe...
