Driving through the Fog

Friday I had my first migraine in 3 weeks, I had almost gotten used to normal. This one came with one hell of a fog. That thick fog that makes it impossible to even remember who you are, what you are doing, or how to get to where you are going. I was going to the library, one that I have frequented sense I was 10 years old. In the thick haze I couldn't remember the street names, at one point I couldn't remember who had the right of way.

Sometimes I wonder I should have to take a clarity test to leave the house in the morning, but the sad thing is I never know when it is creeping up. I know without my mom in the car I may not have made it to the library that day. Any other day I can get there from any location, but in that fog I can't do much. It is really weird when I can't place words....that is when I really feel stupid.

There is one great thing about this. Some days, not all, I have a clear concise reason for for my stupid mistakes or antics.

Veganism

So it has been three weeks, since I have become a vegan. I have to say it has been really easy. I didn't really eat meat all that much, or dairy products. I think the only thing that I have really sacrificed is cheese. I do miss it some times but only because it is just easy. It is a little hard with picking stuff out at a restaurant, but not that hard.

The real surprise has been the energy. Since I did a lot of reading and research before making the switch I am very careful about nutrition, so I probably get more nutrients now than when I was an omnivore. I am super energized all the time like my body is running on all cylinders. I also started taking feverfew for my migraines. I don't know if it is the diet or the feverfew, but I am pain free.

This is a revelation. I haven't been this happy in a while. I have started to go to the gym because I feel like I did before the migraines started. I am praying for this to continue, but cautiously waiting for the other shoe to drop. I know I shouldn't do that, but after all these years of pain it seems inevitable that it will happen. Fingers crossed!!!
