I can't        imagine the hobby to be so popular among new people.              Perhaps those people would enjoy a How To BBS workshop.                      AA>> Hown many Cusslers do you have?               DS> I would say at least 2 dozen...I'd have to go out to the        DS> living room to look.

[...]              Your body is finding an adjustment as you work to avoid the        foods that trigger problems. Keep that up. Eventually, the        headaches would go away if you honor the limits that your body        can cope with right now.              At one point I was getting what someone else told me they call        silent headaches. It's when you suddenly see double-vision or        strange white specks in front of your eyes or can't see quite        right out of one eye.              I was getting the double-vision version. The episodes would        last a few seconds. I started documenting their occurences and        noticed that they were reoccurring sooner between episodes and        lasting longer each time. Unrelated to that, I simply started        to eat low-carb, low cal, high fats, no processed foods of any        kind, and no sugar, to reduce my nearly 200lbs of weight to        something more suitable for my frame at 175lbs. During the        course of that eating plan, the silent headaches disappeared.        I only had one reoccurence when I briefly got lazy and decided        to eat smoked sausages and picnic meats for a while (the kind        that are pre-cooked and can be eaten right after opening). I        didn't quite make the connection with those meats right away,        but when the double-vision returned, I knew that was the only        difference in my eating. I learned my lesson. I haven't had a        silent headache episode for years now. Bonus.. a few other        ailments disappeared after I changed my eating plan for the        better.       --        ../|ug       --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Time moves in one direction, memory in another. -WG- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 664 700 981 1017 240/1120 5832 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/307 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003 282/464 1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/0 1 101 113 123 317/3 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 423/81 633/280 920/1 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 221/1 301/1 229/426           |
