30th Day

I was in town almost whole afternoon. I had a cafe machiato and a cookie at one of the cafeterias (Kaffekompaniet, Strömstad). Soon after it I had cramps in my lower abdomen and I had to go to the toilet. Could be three things: coffee, milk or/and gluten. This pain I recognized, I've had it before too. Now I at least know it comes from one of these three things.

16th Day

I really enjoy the Epsom-salt evening baths! But the Castor oil hasn't arrived yet, and I still haven't found beepollen. I'm not sure the pollengranulate they sell at Biofood is the same thing. Have to check the homesite of Biofood. I tend to forget about the nettle-tea, and I feel I drink too little when I work. I work in two shifts, 7:00-abt.14 or 15 and from abt. 13 or 14 - 21:00. I try to have my main meals at home, so that I don't have to take lots of supplementary stuff with me, my collegues already think I'm a bit boring because I don't smoke, I don't drink coffee and I don't eat meat. Not drinking coffee can be dangerous in Sweden, the holy land of coffee consumers. The whole society and working style is based on the heavy coffee drinking.
Well, instead I brought apples and I made an apple pie in the evening for their evening (!!!) coffee. I became immediatelly more interesting for everyone. :-) Suuuuugar....sweeeeeet suuugarcoma. LOL

14th Day

Got a new job, substituting occasionally. Didn't drink coffee at all, collegues started becoming curious if I was normal otherwise....hehehe. I worked till 21:00 - little bit confusing when working, I forget about my fishoil capsules, or to drink enough water. Kind of difficult to have so many things in my head, I definetelly have concentration problems! :-) I got a new prescription today: higher dosage of Lyrica (100mg now from 50). Lyrica (Pregabalin) is for neuropthical pain and GAD ( Generalised Anxiety Disorder), and my doctor believes I have that which makes my back and shoulder hurt a lot.

11th Day

Sleepy day - got to drink a little coffee to be able to drive to Tjärnö to my favourite (and only) yoga teacher. :-) Weather changing - joints hurting.

(Got a Vishnu-picture and a postcard with an Apollinaire quotation...got two whales/got to Wales!)


Come to the edge," he said
"We are afraid," they said
"Come to the edge," he said
And they came to the edge.
And he pushed them
And they flew...

(Although experts say it was written by Christopher Logue. See link.)

8th Day

I worked and was busy whole day. I had lunch at work: fishsticks, potatoes and lots of fresh sallad. It was good. No coffee whole day - worked well, no headache or drowsiness.

3rd Day

I had a half a cup of coffee with breakfast, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drive to my therapist (I get backmassage 1-2 a week). Otherwise everything went well. I had two nice walks (Rossö and Saltö). And I had no headache at all. In the afternoon I had a short nap with our kitten. :-)
