Eating......

I'd just like to say that I LOVE FOOD! I went on a cruise, like I always wanted to, because of the FOOD!! And it was so delicious! I tried all sorts of things. All sorts of things. And I'd like to say that one of the biggest UNFAIR things in life is that I cannot eat whatever I want. :(

I want to eat delicious and yummy and even fattening food every day of the week without negative consequences on my body. Pulleease make it so!!!! I know........I'm in dreamland.

Mind over matter

Have you ever used the power of your mind to calm a headache or to at least make it so you didn't notice the headache as much?? I have. And I now have a new and scary mind over matter task at hand. Yes, I'm posting partly in an effort to distract myself and it's very late at night. I was sleeping and awakened by annoying and partly painful muscle cramping in my back on the right side. then I noticed that my limbs were somewhat crampy and tight as well. Then I became extremely itchy and now I feel I have to pee constantly. I had a very similar experience about two months ago. It was horrible. Thought I had a bladder infection but the antibiotics didn't do anything to help - or very little. But they couldn't find anything else. It went away on it's own and I didn't fill the other prescription. But it took a couple of weeks for the muscle cramping in my left calf to go away. The month after that I had a slight cramping episode that began the EXACT same way and I wouldn't allow it. I said forget it, and ignored it. This episode came on differently and at work. I spend the last two days resting a lot and thought it was gone. I'd decided that recently I'd been having discomfort in my right rib cage probably due to muscle cramping. My chiropractor found no other reason for it. It was on and off over the past weeks. Then at work I had a headache then began to feel nauseous. This sometimes happens with headaches. I had no water with me to take any Advil. So I did nothing. Then i started to feel light head and a little weak. I suddenly felt like I needed to pass out and went to sit down. I was really weak in my back and thighs. I sat for awhile and then I slowly walked for sugar, food, then to my van. I drove home a little while later when I felt better. At home I had a nap and rested most of that afternoon. The next day I felt a little off in my back but okay. I rested in the afternoon as well. So now, I am doing the mind over matter influence. This is much harder once one of these episodes is in full swing. But I will keep you posted on how it goes. All of this sounds so scary, but I am starting to get used to it. They have found nothing, even on MRI and I am beginning to think it could be hormonal or even just something to do with calcium. Who knows?! I wouldn't mind finding out, but I've heard of much worse. If I can somehow control it with my brain power, it would make it go away. It's worth a try. Here goes.
