Okay, it wasn't that much of a "New Day," but the migraine backed off a bit and that felt very good--by comparison.
When I'm not totally discouraged by how I feel, I'm fascinated by it. How is this all happening simply by changing my diet? What is the mechanism in the body that causes these symptoms? How is the body able to "retrace" previous health issues?
Last night my migraine took me all the way back to Switzerland, 1990, when I ate an entire malted chocolate bar and then experienced the worse pain in my head in my life. Then it transported further back to 1984, just before I left for London, when my highschool boyfriend dropped me on the side of my head. (Don't ask.)
And frequently, this great fatigue places me back at college when I'd walk the 13 blocks to campus from my apartment, and then never make it to class because I simply had to take lie down for a minute on the couch in the library, not knowing I had mono, and would sleep for hours.
Have I mentioned that I can't have salt?
(I just keep staring at the pretty pink Himalayan salt that I just bought...)
