Odd headache
Nov. 4th, 2011 01:35 pmOkay. So I got up - no headache. Had a cup of caffeinated coffee - no headache. Had a half-hour phone call - no headache.
Then I had a sandwich: two slices of potato bread, pork chop, slice of cheddar, mayo. And a (caffeinated) Diet Coke.
Within about ten-fifteen minutes of eating lunch I developed a fearsome headache, mostly focused around my forehead, eyes and temples. Well, and the top of my head, too.
Is it too much of a leap to say that the headache might have been caused by the meal?
Diet Coke rarely gives me a headache. Withdrawal from it gives me a headache. Although, that could be it.
What the heck? The bread? I know my system doesn't like bread - it feeds what I suspect is a low-grade candida infection. I guess it's too much of a leap to blame the headache on the bread, but who knows?
I don't have a pork allergy, fairly certain. Had a pork chop on Saturday, cut up into cubes, was just fine. Mayo? Doubtful. Cheese? That's not it.
Hmm. It's just that I was totally fine - I even slept enough. And now I feel like laying down and sleeping the rest of the day when I'm actually excited to work on the website that I'm doing. I guess I'll take some ibuprofen, although I hate to do that.

Don't eat wheat?
Nov. 4th, 2011 02:04 pmNow that I think about it, I got the same type of headache after I ate the same type of meal last night, too. So, it's either the Diet Coke or the bread, and my money's on the bread causing the headache. And the massive sleepiness. (I wasn't sleepy before lunch.)
