    Well quick update.

    Well quick update.

    My daughter was wondering if the stevia I was putting in my coffee could be causing these monster headaches from youknowwhere.  I looked it up and I'll be darned it has been known to cause migraines in some people.  I stopped several days ago and today I didn't take pain meds until late morning.  The pain went away enough that I wasn't having to dose up around the clock.  Very thankful but still going to see pain management doctor because the lymph fluid is still pressing on those nerves and if I need meds that's the person to see.

    Now trying to taper down on all these opiates.  I'm sickish with a runny nose and just icky feeling.  Just have to power through it won't take long.

    These headaches and the meds I took for relief really threw a spanner into my recovery.  I wasted a couple of months on it and it is taking much longer to bounce back now.  Got to focus on feeding and hydration now as my weight continues to drip off.
