Hi Jen, when it comes to headaches, I feel your pain!
I have suffered from chronic headaches and migraines all of my life. Even as a small child I remember telling my Grandpa that I had a headache, to which he replied, little kids don't get headaches! He was a dear, sweet man, but he sure didn't get it! Anyway, I just wanted to share that since I've lost the weight, I very rarely get migraines at all anymore and my regular, every day headaches have lessened and are not as intense as they used to be. This has been one more added perk to the weight loss that was totally unexpected, and I couldn't be happier about it! My chronic headaches have been so debilitating that I've literally had to plan my life around any thing or activity that could cause one. My biggest problem being heat. Any time I got the least bit overheated it resulted in horrible pounding pain, usually accompanied with nausea, which would sometimes last for days at a time. Living in the South as I do, meant that summertime was pure torture and I almost never left the house during that time. Now, here's an ironic twist- since I've lost the weight, I am constantly freezing, and now I'm looking forward to it warming up around here again! Anyway, I just wanted to share to hopefully give you something to look forward to as a possible side affect of weight loss. Good luck sweetie, and hang in there. Remember, you can do this, as long as you just keep trying.
