Hi everyone. I am on Day 28 and have had a daily headache since Day 11, which was also the onset of my period. It comes and goes, but the shadow pain is still there even if it's not full blown. I would describe it as "low-grade", not migraine or pounding. I sometimes wake up with it, sometimes not. It's usually there at night when I go to sleep and sometimes when I wake up in the night (sleep patterns are still not great). It's worse if I put my hair up in a ponytail and it's only in the crown of my head, not in my temples or neck. I am not someone who gets headaches and the prolonged nature of this symptom has me a bit concerned. I drink dark roast coffee with coconut milk first thing in the morning when I wake up, usually 1 cup but sometimes 2. I recently realized I should wait on the coffee until after breakfast. (Is tea appropriate to have in the morning?) My coffee habit has not changed at all since starting the Whole30. The only significant additions I have made are drinking more La Croix water than filtered water (like, almost exclusively La Croix) and I have added 1 scoop of Collagen Peptides to my morning tea after breakfast. I stopped the La Croix as of today. I stopped eating avocados and potatoes about 6 days ago with no change in headache status, although my belly feels much better ; ) I have continued to use avocado oil which seems fine for my stomach. Any insight on what this is all about? I know headaches can be mysterious things, I am extending my Whole30 to 45 days, possibly 60 as I suffer from Lyme disease and Arthritis and haven't improved to a place where I am ready to reintroduce. I look forward to some help with the headache thing. Thank you so much, Erin
