I'm ...I just found your blog through Momastery. I'm not an advice giver, but felt like I just needed to pass this on...cause hey, you just never know! About a year ago, I got crazy bad headaches, couldn't sleep well rarely ever, and then the pain moved down into my shoulders, shoulder blades and then in my knee joints. We could not figure out what was going on. No one could. Then I saw an allergist - it was gluten (and yeast and a few other big triggers) that was causing the headaches, joint pain, sleep issues. I had no idea. I had eaten them my whole life and never had issue (except I always had struggled with sleep), but our bodies can kind of all of a sudden go into attack mode and reject things we put in our body all of a sudden. Basically, my body was seeing these things as "poisons" causing my joints to be inflamed. Headaches are a natural bodily response to food insensitivities. I'm not sure if you've been allergy tested, but it might be something to consider. It's changed my life. I rarely ever have headaches (except when I overdose on gluten - sometimes you just gotta eat some cake!), my joint paint vanished, and I have slept the best in my entire life. I know food insensitivities can seem "hokey pokey", but it might be worth you checking out.

I'm sorry for your headaches, not that it's the same but I battle headaches much of my life. I feel such compassion for you to be wearing those headaches day after day! Thanks so much for your awesome thoughts, I'm excited Parker responded that's truly great!

Cause what you said really does make a whole lot of sense. As a single mom of 2 kids some days I don't feel that way - but it really is up to us to make or break any day that comes along. So cheers to you for being awesome!!!!<br /><br />xoxo,<br />Amy in ColoradoAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09244155706822453016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-80858357927251393152013-06-19T12:46:17.286-07:002013-06-19T12:46:17.286-07:00Hi Chrissy,

I know for sure that most of MY troubles are caused by the way i internalize stress, and poor posture. I hate advice and try not to give it but i know how those headaches sap the life out of me! One thing that really helps me is to tape a big X on my back (with athletic tape of some sort) while standing up straight. Makes it impossible to slouch and miraculously helped when nothing else would. I find a combination of that plus one massage a month and not sleeping on my side with my shoulder tucked underneath me (flat on my back with no pillow seems best). I love your prescription too! I think we all need to follow that a little more!<br />Sure hope you find some relief!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833964681584255556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-8688978699547208982013-06-18T08:32:16.053-07:002013-06-18T08:32:16.053-07:00That's what happens when I try to talk on the ...That's what happens when I try to talk on the phone too... :)AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16997137225993499642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8077151913672187133.post-72964318190144489972013-06-18T01:13:01.532-07:002013-06-18T01:13:01.532-07:00Best of luck to you & your little ones.Best of luck to you & your little ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
