Hello all
I wondered if I am alone in this, I am in week 9 and am having 3 or 4 massive headaches per week. Some of which are so bad I feel I could throw up. I am certain it is not dehydration as I easily drink 4/4.5 litres per day.
Today I have spent the day walking round Drayton Manor Park and by the time I was on my way home I almost asked hubbie to pull over so I could be sick.
When home I had a surf of the net and now believe the headaches are being caused by low blood sugar :
"If we don’t eat enough calories for our bodies’ needs, then our blood-glucose levels drop too low. This can happen if we skip meals, fast, diet, or exercise on insufficient food.
Fasting, eating high-sugar foods, dieting too rigorously, and skipping meals can all trigger, or make people more likely to have a headache or migraine. Even delayed or irregular meals can make a difference. This is usually due to people’s blood-glucose levels falling too low.
Headaches produced from going without food are often quite severe and accompanied by mild nausea. There is also a similarity between some of the symptoms of missing a meal and the early warning signs (premonitory) of a migraine attack, such as: yawning, pallor, sweating, headache, a craving for sweet things, and mood changes."
Am I alone in this? is it common on LL? I am still 100% committed but this is making my life so difficult (and painful)!
Do you think if I split packs and ate more frequently it would help?
Does anyone else split packs - is it easy to guess what half of the powder looks like?
All advice gratefully received.
