Now, when he is sick, it is the first thing I get for him and start having him sip in 10 minute intervals.

Seems to help.

I once had the nausea equivalent of your headache. It started one day and then the next and the next and.. 14 months & many medical types later I still had no idea why. And let me tell you, i had a much shorter temper as well! Anyway another downside of nausea is that it’s usually *slightly* better with food in your stomach. Specifically, carbs.. so that creates another problem, when none of your clothes fit any more.

Anyways the nausea went away and I’ve been crazy enough to make a return visit to nausea-land for 8 months of my pregnancy! But like you’ve said before, it’s the never-ending-ness that makes chronic health troubles hardest. My pregnancy may have been the most wretched experience but it was finite!

I hope your body gives you a break and don’t listen to those who tell you it’s all psychological! Or maybe slap them. Whichever suits at the time.

i used Kindle’s autospeech function for a bit while i walked around cleaning the house. It was pretty hilarious to hear the robowoman mispronounce something like: “All the PILOTS I’d been doing meant that I could finally get my leg at a ninety degree angle to my body.”

I found your blog a few months ago and immediately read your book. Congratulations on the five year mark. It used to be said that if you were free of cancer for five years, you were cured. Maybe that was what you were thinking of. In any case, it’s a huge accomplishment. I can only hope your headache miraculously disappears one day.

My mother-in-law, who knows a thing or two, and who gets nausea/dizzy headaches periodically, swears by a pharmaceutical called MECLAZINE. You have to ask the pharmacist for it, but it only costs about $6, and it works amazingly well.

if you were 180 then i’m guessing you’re around 230 now with the 50 lb gain. Funny, that’s right where I am.

I used to read your blog about 3 years ago when you were originally losing and hit “onederland” — here’s hoping we hit it together!

And for what it’s worth, i don’t know how you even think about dieting with headache. but what doesnt’ kill us…. :)
