Confessions of a Homeschool Mom

Much to be Thankful about

I received the results of my CT scan on Wednesday and it showed nothing abnormal.  I was so relieved and thankful.  A week is a long time to think about what might be abnormal in your brain.  My headaches are still here, but I am almost sure they are blood pressure related.  It is weird- low one minute and high the next.  I'm hoping they stop soon.

 

I've changed my eating style drastically.  No diet coke, no white sugar, no white flour, no salt, no processed food, only meat that we process ourselves and no dairy.  What's left, you ask?  Raw fruits and vegetables and whole grain products.  I know what you're thinking- UGH!  I had the same thought, but I am determined to get healthy.  I've lost 5 pounds already and it's only been a week.  I also drink fresh carrot juice- and not because I like the taste!

 

Have a blessed day.

Nov. 30, 2005 - much to be thankful for

I too have had lots of headaches, I have tried to get the junk out of my diet and my family as well...I have taken the dr hat's wrong route as far as I could...and now am using vitamins and herbal remedies, I also have done lots on reading on the herbs as I don't want to take something that will hurt me...I started taking a progesterone cream and it helps too, and I can feel my headaches coming back, which lets me know I need to rub some on...most health food stores carry it...I take progestex which is from wild yams and hormonaly balanced, email me id you want more info...I love the stuff personally!

About Me

Homeschool moms are not perfect! Sometimes we imagine every other homeschool family has "it all together". Well, guess what? Mine doesn't. This is a journal of my journey through homeschooling. It's not all pretty, but it's all life.
