From busy to blah

 

I felt great last Friday night

This past month has been a very busy one as I got back into the swing of things in the (hopefully) final semester of my scholastic career at York University. I also had a lot of freelance work coming in as well as a ton of new opportunities coming my way. 2010 was off to a great start. I did however start to cave to my caffeine cravings so I could keep up to it all, but still kept on track for the most part.

This past weekend however, is where things took a dark turn. I went out for a "Ladies Night Dinner" on Friday night where I managed to eat something with gluten or something that I am allergic to. The next day I woke up with two very blotchy red cheeks and very itchy skin. Over the weekend it progressively got worse as I began to feel super exhausted all day and all night long when I was barely doing anything.

Then when Monday morning came, I woke up after sleeping for hours only to feel dizzy and disoriented. I had a slight freak out because this happened to me last August when I first reacted to gluten, and I was out of commission for almost a week trying to get my body back to normal. With my busy schedule, I can't afford to be feeling like this for a week.

I am hanging in there and eating simply and healthy until I can get myself into a Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.) to get something started. But you know what? I just feel like crying because I have had so many health problems like this my whole life and just when I think I have it all figured out and I am back on my A-game I get a dose of reality like this past weekend where I am back to feeling all out of sorts again.

I am starting to feel better again, slowly but surely. I have been careful about what I am eating these past few days, sticking to mostly raw veggies and plain foods until I finally meet with an N.D. and get a new regime in place.
