Re: HepC/protein/weight loss and gain etc

[Guest guest]

Hi . I used to have bad headaches (especially upon rising). In

fact, when I first noticed one of these a.m. headaches (about three or four

years

ago), it hurt so bad I thought I might have some kind of meningitis - lol

(REAL paranoid). BUT - when these headaches would hit, I couldn't even nod

my head or walk down the hall without feeling like my brain was being jarred.

It would go away in a few days.

I have them VERY infrequently now, though -- thank goodness. I have noticed

there is a correlation between when I have particularly " puffy days " (eyes

puffy, face puffy, bloated feeling, etc). these kinds of headaches come on.

I noticed, too, that if I had eaten a salty salty meal the night before,

such as pizza or ham ? ? GAWD -- I have noticed that I will feel that strange

headache in the a.m. I think water retention had something to do with mine

(and too much salt without enough H20 can cause more fluid retention). I

began limiting pizza to " occsionally " and began limiting REAL salty foods. I

think it helped some. I don't have the " puffiness " that I used to. But I

used to wake up in the a.m. or from a nap on the couch and notice imprints all

over my body from where pressure had been and had caused imprints (fluid

retention). When I see that happening again (and it seems to occur more in the

summer when I'm less active) I start drinking more water and start trying to

move my body parts more to get that water OUT of my tissues. I have to force

myself at times to do that.

Hope your headaches get better . Hang in there .

Oh you're welcome! I hope your headaches will improve. That is SO funny

about the pork rinds. I LOVE em! But I try NOT to buy them at the market

(where they fry em up fresh) or I will come home and sit down and eat the WHOLE

BAG! So, I will limit them to about twice a year (and then I just pure

indulge myself - lol). For my craving tonight, I had to have something sweet,

and so -- I had a root beer float (with vanilla ice cream). Bad BAD girl! .

Happy 4th!

Jet: You are oh so right about the salty foods! I have tried to avoid them,

but you know how sometimes, when you have a headache, you just have to have a

certain food cause you just KNOW it will make you all better? Well, I caved in

and ate almost a whole {large} bag of spicy pork rinds! Yes, BAD GIRL!!!!!

But, I couldn't resist! Actually, it did help a little. I think it was the

spices. Yesterday, I was sucking down jalepenos! This type of cramming the

junk is not normal for me, but when I get a headache like this one, I just

follow my feelings! In this case, they {my feelings} were saying " Crunch on

some spicy prok rinds! "

Thanks so much for caring!
