Again...I will open with...if you are reading this please knock on the closest wood you can find before going any further. I would greatly appreciate it!! :)
There is this stuff called Vitamin Water (Revive) that I would put right up there with holy water... I believe it has quite honestly changed my life.
How you say??... Well, in a previous post I mentioned that water was a main contributor to headaches. Now, this makes a lot of sense if you are someone with an issue with fluid cushioning the brain or brain stem....less water = less cushion. I also said potassium helped with headaches but I never really researched why...
I won't get in scientific details but will explain it the way I understood all this to work. Basically potassium helps to regulate the fluid balance in your cells. So it helps you retain the water you drink in your blood stream. If water does wonders for my headaches....water that helped to better hydrate me would do better....right? Absolutely!
I got one of these when I had a headache a few months back choosing it because of the incredibly high potassium level. Its nearly the same as a banana. I had been taking supplements but the level was so low that it never made any difference. Bananas did so I figured I would give it a go. It WORKED! My headache went away and I felt good. It could be a fluke so I tried it again...and again ...and again... This is where my addiction to this stuff started. I started drinking these regularly....like one a day most days and sometimes more. For months I have felt like a normal person as long as I make sure to keep drinking....and drinking and drinking. I find this almost to good to be true but I will take it and I will keep drinking this stuff!!
Even if you do not have what I have...if you have a headache throw one of these babies down and see if it helps! It's a miracle in a bottle!
Coca-Cola did not pay me for this endorsement...but I would not be against accepting bribes to further blog about this amazing fluid. I may even do it again for free :) It is amazing stuff!!
So to close.... Don't forget to drink...drinking stuff with lots of potassium (or eating stuff with it) does help with headaches. And my number one rule still applies....POSTURE!! Sit up straight! Shoulders back...Chin up!!
I know its been so long since I posted...and it is due to this stuff! :) I feel great! I don't think of my blog when I feel good because I have nothing to say about CM or BI.... I hope I have no reason to post again any time soon but will happily give a good news update if my good fortune continues. :)
If you are going through this or have family that are...I wish you all the luck in the world! There is nothing quite like the feeling of not knowing where to go when you are so unique...I love talking about the things I have learned and love hearing from families that also have lived through or are living through this My thoughts and prayers are truly with each and everyone of you!
