Oh, my doc has me takin' the stuff 3 times a day.

OMG, you and I are on the same wavelength. Because of the migraine thing and my attempts to follow my naturopathic plan, I decided today that Wednesdays would be my 'cheat day,' for 3 months while I try to give up on refined carbs. (Picked Wed. 'cause it's my day off with my girlfriend.) Oh, I did have a 'small' migraine today, I think set off by eating at a japanese restaurant.Giving up refined carbs is hard, 'cause my girlfriend (who I live with) loves them and doesn't really seem to understand my logic for giving them up. Plus, she loves rice like crazy. (She's asian and grew up in Hawaii.) But I think if I stick to my plan she'll respect it and not try to shove sushi down my throat.
Anyways, it's a relief to be able to tell people my symptoms are due to a migraine now. They seem to relate to it better.
