MadyVanilla Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'm back to my regular schedule. I ended up having to travel last week. Rxbars for breakfast and lots of Chipotle I had an Rx bar for breakfast this morning, and another Whole 30 bowl from Chipotle for lunch. Meal planning and grocery shopping are on today's to-do list. I've been compliant, getting my steps in, and sleeping really well. My pain is ok, and my energy is great! I haven't had time to contemplate all the What-ifs and Why-is-thises that I usually do. Maybe that's been a good thing - just going through the motions without all the ruminations. Anyway, I'm back on schedule, so I guess I'll be back to thinking about everything, lol. Today is Day 18! M1-blueberry Rx bar, black coffee M2-Chicken Whole 30 bowl from Chipotle M3-Grilled steak with sweet potato and broccoli I wish I had thought to meal plan during the car ride home yesterday. It's a lot to do on a work day. I'm going to use the rest of my lunch hour to get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing @MadyVanilla Remember we were talking about Voltaren? I feel like I need to do a PSA here. I have been very ill for 2 weeks with repeated bouts of gastritis (nausea, vomitting and diarrhea) as well as stomach pain and a heavy feeling in my chest. I have been in strict isolation for months and it wasn't covid but my MD and I couldn't figure out what was going on - especially since she didn't want to examine me or send me for tests unnecessarily. I have pretty bad IBS but usually feel great on W30 so I was really, REALLY getting frustrated. Turns out it was a drug reaction to Voltaren. I cannot take NSAIDs orally but have tolerated topical applications of Voltaren for many years. With my foot problem and my jaw problem, I was applying too much and developed the same kinds of problems as I have with oral NSAIDs but 10x worse. 2 days after stopping Voltaren use I am feeling much better. Just a cautionary tale. USE ONLY AS PRESCRIBED is good advice. And yes, I feel a bit stupid for not figuring it out earlier - the retired RN in me hangs her head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
