Default I feel sooooo yucky

Made it through my first day of induction - but i feel so terrible. I got this migriane last night that was so terrible i couldn't do anything but lay in the dark - i was hoping that going to bed would make me sleep it off, but i woke up with it again this morning. Is this normal? I hope so - because i really want to continue, but i don't think that i could live with this migraine for anymore than 2-3 days. I can't even look at the computer screen right now - thank god for touch typing! anyone else experienced this?

Hey and welcome to your new WOE. Headaces are normal. I'm sorry that yours is so bad. Usually they DO go away....I had that experience the first couple of times I did this WOE. But, I got through it and they DID go away.

GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL FEEL BETTER SOON!

Hi there,

The first few days of induction are pretty horrible. It is becasue you are de-toxing your body of carbs and sugar, and going through a sort of "withdrawal" process.

Try to stick with it because once you get past the initial yucks (which could also include dizziness and nausea) you will feeling wonderful! and never look back

hang in there!

Lesley

The worse you feel the better sign that this woe is for you. You will feel so much better in a week or two. Hang in there.
