Lisaspencer Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Can anyone shed some light as to when my headache might go away? I've had it since day 2 and now I'm on day 4 and it's not going away . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted February 25, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 25, 2016 Yes, it should be gone by 3:49pm today. Just kidding, but seriously, no. It really depends on your context, your diet before Whole30, your personal headache history etc. Make sure you are eating enough and drinking 1/2 ounce of water per pound of bodyweight (160# person = 80oz water/day). Take an advil or tylenol if you are suffering. Most people don't continue to have a headache after the first couple weeks. My first Whole30 I had a headache for the first 7 days, 3 days without and then for another 4 days after that. But then.....I had a fairly gnarly headache-history and suffered regularly from menstrual migraines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShirleyP Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I had a horrible headache days 2-4 and then it came back on day 6 and 7, even tho I was feeling simple benefits, the headache really bothered me. I realized it was lack of water, so I try to make sure I always have a drink with me wherever I am, and follow the 1/2 ounce water per body weight per day. I also now "listen" to my body...if I start feeling a headache coming on, I'll drink at least 12 ounces of water and have relief. For me, sodium intake was also part of it. I don't think I was getting enough, becuse I was experiencing dizziness and headache, so I am sure to use salt in my meal seasonings. Good luck to you!!
