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 absorbing the 3,000 units I take in vitamin D and drops per day. Now I am on a once weekly 50,000 unit capsule. So, woke up without a headache for the first time in six days and felt rested. So we will see if the lack of vitamin D might be the headache culprit.
One of the major reasons, I started writing is to find an answer to cure my headache problems and one of the keys is that you have to listen to what your body is telling you. If you feel something is the answer, test it. If it is the answer, stand for it. You are your biggest health advocate.
Food
The same with GF. If you don't have a GF sensitivity, but eating GF helps you to feel better, then do it.
So in spite of all the doctors and poly-medicating, I still tried some new foods in the health realm. I tried a Bolthouse juice. I was able to tolerate it. It had kale and broccoli and all those great greens. It was hard to swallow and it took me 3 days, but I did it. It did have quite a bit of juice concentrate. Pear juice especially.
Also tried a new Greek yogurt french onion dip on vegetables. It was okay. Not enough onion flavor, but did taste great and did we did not feel heavy after we ate it. We will try the dill dip next time. We have tasted it before, but only on GF pretzels. Those pretzels are so amazing everything would be good on them.
Here's to you finding your Health-a-licious way.
Have a Happy Healthy Day.
