Water Weight
By no means are any of my posts meant to make people feel bad for me. Tonight I'm tired so I'll probably get into what is and isn't working for me tomorrow. I think I have to email the specialist I was working with previously on suggestions. I have been cheating not because of cravings per se but because of wants. 'll discuss that tomorrow and hopefully I'll have some suggestions from her.
Last week and especially the weekend I was having a slight headache. Then the noise in my ear (tinnitus) is associated with the pseudotumor cerebri. Well I have only been hearing it in my right ear (for years) and it is getting quite annoying. It basically goes along with my heartbeat. Since I am usually by myself I almost always hear it. Anyway, it started happening in my left ear and I was getting nervous. When I had a lumbar puncture done in October, I was laying on my back for basically a week. I had a terrible headache whenever I would sit up. I was given prescription pills to lower the excess fluid but it made me nauseous. Because me wanting to lose weight, I need to. It has potential to even lead to blindness although there is no guarantee and my vision is fine now. I was told to stop taking the pills but took one last week. The next day I woke up to a 3 lb. loss. I only took the one but this past Saturday took another one. Another 3.4 lb. loss. I can't add them together because I have gained that weight back. What I have learned is I'm retaining the fluid with all the extra water I'm drinking. This is the most water I've ever had and I wasn't going to the bathroom that much. Take the pill and I was up 10 times that night. I meet with the specialist next week and I don't want any recommendations except for keep losing weight.
The pills make me feel better but then there are other negative side effects (tingling in the fingers and toes, nausea, and carbonated drinks taste like Alka Seltzer). I have to make this work not only for myself but for others suffering from this condition. Some end up having Gastric Bypass to lose weight. This is the answer and I am the key.
