A little update (hip related)

[Ulvetanna_imp]

My stomach is so sensitive now that I suffer a lot of pain if I eat anything but raw foods. It's unbearable. That's the only way I keep my weight normal.

I also get severe migraines from many common food additives. Junk food is impossible; I lose 48-72 hours per migraine to recover.

Cheese, rice, fruit, nuts, vegetables, that's it. And water.

But I drink a metric boatload of caffeine, or what seems like it.

Four shots a day of espresso, usually, morning and afternoon. I guess that's not so bad, it's mixed with steamed milk which makes it a lot less harsh.

I mix that up with some Long Ching (Dragonwell) green tea from time to time to change things around.

I can't do without caffeine. Or shall I say, it would very troublesome to kick it.

As far as meds, when I took an ambulance trip to the ER for hernia pain recently (turned out to be a slight tear in the scar tissue) they gave me some kind of anti-nausea medication.

Took a MONTH to get over the side effects. Weird dreams, dehydration, irregularity...

So, no one is in perfect health. We're all the walking wounded in some way.
