Since starting the program this is the first headache building. Unfortunately I can not tell if it’s from the program or my usual migraine attack which I usually have 2 to 3 times a month. In general I do not take any painkillers but do use Maxalt against my migraines which constrains blood vessels and blood flow. I decided to try taking an Advil as it has been noted that mild headaches can occur during the detox part of the program and that then a mild, over the counter painkiller usually takes care of it. I’ll avoid Maxalt as much as possible because usually that medication and empty stomach really don’t jive together.

It’s almost 2 PM and I still have not decided if I want to make it my MILK or my VEGGIE 2-days. So far I’m okay even though I have a ton of attention on the fact that I’m on this diet. I set up iCal to ping me at every odd hour to ensure that I don’t forget about the beads.
Next to that I was beginning to feel a slight headache building, but I knew it was my mistake because I did not drink enough this morning as I was so engulfed in a project for which my client is under a deadline. I took a dash of salt with almost 2 cups of water and am now sipping my very first DIET COKE – who would have thought that I’d ever go into the pit and consume anything that contains Aspartame? But, after the first 3 disgusting sips it’s not as horrid (far from good though) and my headache has disappeared.
What worries me far more currently is that my left arm feels somewhat numb, right by the arm pit and then the pinky and ring fingers, the feeling is between tingling and being numb. I know I was sitting partially odd, so this could be it, but with all the warnings you always read about signs of a possible heart attach, I am definitely watching… and worried. Hope it will go away soon.
