@matigo the good news is that I'm not having to do anything all that different from how I got to 80kg from 150kg in the first place. I just have to be a lot more strict now as there's no chance I want another migraine…or these allergies to come back with the force they had.
@matigo low-quality white bread was the trigger. It may not necessarily be the gluten, but it’s all the other stuff they do to the “bread.” I suspect the coughing and vomiting I did after eating it was responsible for the muscle issues.
On the plus side, cleaning up my diet and adding a bedside air purifier has done wonders for my allergies. At least I’m not dealing with that.
I’m pretty sure all this muscular discomfort I’m currently experiencing is a direct result of eating white bread from Walmart…one time, three weeks ago.
It definitely caused the worst migraine I’ve ever had, which involved some violent retching that resulted in my back seizing. And the days of headaches that followed.
The shoulder…no idea, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t do anything specific to piss it off. But it clearly is.
@spacenerdmo lucky you, summer in Seattle doesn’t usually start until July 5th 😉
@spacenerdmo you visiting Washington State or live there? I used to live out there. Been out to the San Juan Islands before.
Despite all the cleaning I’ve done and the dietary changes I’ve made, I still can’t manage to get up in the morning without my sinuses draining and plugging.
At least the dietary changes have improved the sleep I’m getting, which isn’t quite enough, but the sleep I am getting has improved.
For less than what I was paying AT&T directly for two lines for about four months, I bought a year of service for two lines using two different networks through an MVNO.
I still need to get one of those lines off of AT&T, but at least the other lines I’m paying for are now under one roof, so to speak. Should be a lot cheaper in the end.
I was asked to go to Israel in May. My United flight got cancelled when stuff heated up over there. The trip got rescheduled to the end of June. They asked me to rebook using El Al, which was still flying. I refused because I did not want to encounter what is now happening: El Al evacuated their planes out of Israel [onemileatatime.com].
Yeah, I think it’ll be a while before I go to Israel again.
@matigo the last few years have involved a lot of changes in my life. Unfortunately, my diet has slipped a bit from where it was.
This discovery does confirm what I was doing is, in fact, what I should be doing. If it keeps my migraines away and reduces my allergy symptoms, even better.
