Such a headache….or wait, I mean a pain in the neck… maybe, a shoulder to cry on? No, it’s backfired! That’s how it’s been this week – back pain shifting to headache changing to a stiff neck back to headache to painful shoulders and round and round it goes. So I went to the chiropractor today – lots of x-rays and some adjusting and we will look at the images tomorrow to see what the heck is going on. In addition, I am to cut out sugar (ouch!), gluten (again), dairy, corn, and nuts or anything containing these ingredients. That leaves me to vegetables, fruits and meat. Talk about a pain in the neck….
I know that the last time I went on a similar diet about a year and a half ago, I felt so great. So I am willing to do it again. Besides, I’ve got a cute little black number to wear to the wedding as mother of the bride (yes, you CAN wear black to a wedding now :-)) so laying off the carbs and sugar is probably a pretty good idea…
He told me to take it easy with my weightlifting and to not run (oh darn!). So I will stick to the elliptical machine and lighter weights for a while ’til I get straightened out. Literally… I guess I’ll have to put that bodybuilding competition on hold…sigh….
Pray that he can figure out what is caddywampus in me so that I’m fully able to do the big staging/decorating job that I have next week which will include lots of painting and rearranging and hanging things. It looks like it will be about a three day job…. yippee!!!!
Hugs to you from your little friendly pain in the butt… I mean neck….I mean back….head?…..
Sorry you have to deal with that! I know what it’s like to be in pain all the time — it’s very draining! I hope you’ll be able to delegate and give your bod a break.
How are your injuries from your fall a while back?
Funny you should bring that up…I totally forgot about that…maybe I should mention that to the chiropractor tomorrow…
