Another day gone by
I slept for much of the day again. Today is the last day of antibiotics, so hopefully tomorrow I will not be so tired. I’m still a stuck pig and popping Tylenol 3 every four hours, which contributes to the fatigue. I have gone a maximum of about 40 minutes with minimal pain before it ramps up again to about a 7 on the pain scale.
I am now wondering if the shrimp in the pad thai I ate last night was also to blame for my horrific cramps. I spent part of today trying to find a definitive connection between shellfish and endometriosis. The only thing I found was shellfish and dioxin. Well, dioxin is one of the things that can cause endometriosis.
I was told a few years ago by my masseuse, who also has endo, to stay away from shellfish because they too easily accumulate dioxins.
2009 is the year I finally listen.
And eggs - yeah I’m gonna have to stop eating pad thai when I’m menstruating cuz of the eggs. But I’m not yet convinced that I should be giving up pad thai for good. :p
SO. This year’s diet modification in the name of lessening/halting the endometriosis pain:
- Severely reduce butter consumption (only use when called for in recipes but stop adding it to waffles, pancakes, mashed potatoes, yams, etc…)
- Don’t eat pad thai around the time of menstruation or ask for it to be made without the eggs
- Only eat chicken and hen for meat sources, all others are FIRED
- Get through one year without drinking any alcohol (so far so good, 20 days dry)
And this is on top of my current No Fly List…haha oh wait, shellfish was already on the list! Hi…I need reminding…
Oh, I posted the video from last night, by the way.
