I'm Awake! ZZZZZZZZ

I've been meaning to post an update on the health stuff. Overall it's been better the last couple of weeks thanks indirectly to Elayne.

She wrote about a doctor suggesting that she try eliminating wheat from her diet for a couple of weeks to see if it helped her; it didn't unfortunately. I've been pretty sure for several months that something I was eating was contributing to my problems though because I'd often feel worse soon after eating. I'd tried eliminating several things without any result though.

I looked up the symptoms of wheat sensitivity and it seemed to match a good many of my symptoms. Fatigue, joint pain, increased severity of migraines, bloating, and mental fog. So I gave it a shot and the first week didn't really see any difference but day 10 the fog cleared. Day 11 and I started having the energy to do stuff again. Then day 12 I ate a hotdog. I left off the bun but I forgot about fillers. Less then 20 mins later the fog decended.

Once that cleared out of my system the next week was great. I've ran errands after work without feeling like I was slogging though an endurance course. I did more stuff around the house. This weekend I not only put away all the clean laundry but I ironed the stuff that needed it too. Wee!

So of course here comes a vicious migraine that caused me to call in sick today and lay here like a slug too stoned on pain meds to do anything. I opened this window 4 hours ago and I've fallen asleep 3 times between then and now.
