I have been ill for the last 18 days, I have now counted.
Stomach extremely queasy, I barely can eat, and bathroom habits…….let’s just say, I may need to go at anytime.
I am concerned, but, what can I do. I am beginning to get used to the feeling and just trudging along living with it.
I have had many things enter my mind;
is it?
stess
pms (yea, thought that, came and went)
pregnant?(ok, luckily, see above…..blegh, otherwise shoot me, I can’t fit another kid in this place)
post-nasal drip
ulcer
gall bladder
food poisoning
ibs
I am praying every night that I wake up and it is gone. Still hasn’t happened yet.
Being I can’t eat anyway, I am going to finally begin incorporating the RAW way of eating, finally, I said, I know, I know! hehe
I am hoping eating more live things will kill this bug or whatever is happening to me.
I have googled my symptoms and realized that it could be any of the above things, it is so funny to see the hypochondriacs on the message boards.

my head hurt and it turned out i had parasites. I went for an MRI like Imaloser43. Nothing, just a $3400 bill! ugh, now I am being treated for parasites. I think my headaches are subsiding.

Hey Lifesa
A man walks into a doctor’s office and says, “I’ve got a strawberry stuck up my butt.” And the doctor says, “I’ve got some cream for that.” haha! ok, all kidding aside. I know it is serious. Brain Cancer, dude, this is what my doctor told me. Get in and get a biopsy immediately.

Hello, Lifesajoke29, I am sorry to hear of your pain, I do highly suggest an MRI, Biopsy and Catscan to be on the safe side. In the meantime, sounds like you could also be experiencing the early signs of Diabetes. Icup36- what type of cream was given for the strawberry dilemma? I do hope you were able to solve that problem.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I truly appreciate your help. Guess what headaches are gone! My wife and the kids moved out yesterday!
Trying to at least make better choices. I am eliminating nothing from my diet at this time.
Infact, I think I have increased my caffeine, sugar and alcohol while attempting this cleanse. I am still doing the Dr. Natura~ but, instead of 30 days, I think it is turning into 65, because I keep forgetting to stay on schedule with it. I love it, don’t get me wrong, but, I think maybe a 2 week cleansing system would be better for me.
3 cheers to Oprah for making it through her vegan 21 day cleanse. I was, however, thrilled to find out that I wasn’t the only one who bailed. Boy, we will look for any excuse…….. but, hell, those of us that tried! hooray!
Well, we won’t be doing that again! Geesh! Here I was all gung-ho! Raw, Raw, No Coffee, No nothing, just twigs and berries…..
The headache I endured yesterday was so debilitating. As I slept I had dreams of crackers, coffee and caffeine pills.
The day wasn’t all bad. First thing in the morning, before the dreaded coffee headache had time to begin, Sage and I went Liberty Park to play in the water, and fountains. He had so much fun, I wish I brought my camera to share pictures with you. Next time, promise!
I of course, am a nervous wreck thinking about the bacteria in the water, giardia, etc… (will someone give her a Zoloft please!). I brought my book, Power of Now, by Ekhart Tolle. This is where I noticed something wasn’t right. I just couldn’t focus, the words on the page made no sense to me, I texted Billy:
Red: I can’t focus on anything, my brain feels cloggy, must be no coffee
B: I made you coffee silly, you didn’t drink it?
R: No, I feel like shit when I drink coffee
B: Oh, back to no coffee…..again! lol
R: Yea, I feel bloated and nasty when I drink it, I don’t want to feel that way. I will have only good coffee, out, special occasions
R: But, now my head is hurting and I can’t focus and I feel like crap anyway
R: The Boy looks like he needs a hamburger, he is too skinny
R: Are you having a hard time keeping up with this text
R: Hello?
R: Must suck texting from a regular cell phone (haha, rubbing my T-mobile Dash full Qwerty keyboard in his face!)
B: Yea, it sucks texting from a regular phone. You should just drink it, seems like you feel like shit either way. (he is like the devil on myshoulder, “yea, drink it, yea, do it, yum, coffee! coffee” )
When we got home, I downed a soda, and made 2 cups of tea, took a total of 5 Aleve, 6 Sinus pills and layed in bed for the rest of the day (this is very unlike me, I nap, but, don’t lay around). Hmmm….. maybe the 1 cup of coffee would have been better then what I ingested instead! The pain I endured! The misery.
I have given up coffee before, but, this was the worst. Crazy how are body becomes dependent on what we give it. The dependency that my physical self feels is reason enough alone to want to give it up. Just for spite, haha.
For now, here I sit typing with a LARGE cup o’ joe, yes, fully laden with cream and sugar.
I promise I will have berries and twigs for breakfast though
Enjoy some Coffee with Blue Turtle Seduction, my absolute favorite band, out of South Lake Tahoe
