So, I've had a headache all flipping day. It started behind my eye and when I started moving around it got worse. I took some pain meds but it's still there, just hanging around. I was afraid it was because of the Plexus - I've invested some time & money in this stuff and it's legitimately working, so that's where the fear comes in. So, I've been researching Plexus headaches and trying to figure out what may be going on.
In my research, I learned that there is something called a Candida overgrowth. It's an overgrowth of yeast - yay - yeast infections. Gross. Anyway, if you have an overgrowth of this mess, it can cause leaky gut. Leaky gut can cause ADD, fatigue, Hashimoto's disease, tummy troubles, and all sorts of other things. Well - that sounds familiar. Because I have all of those symptoms (well, the thyroid thing I've never tested positive for.... but you know I've always wondered...). Click here for some info on that whole Candida Overgrowth thing.
Also on that page, it tells you what happens when you have what's called a Candida die - off. Yes, when you start to kill off the Candida, you're effectively poisoning yourself. Which causes headaches. This is a good thing and a bad thing. Good because you WANT to get rid of the Candida - bad because those little nasty organisms are trying to KILL YOU when they die off. Seriously, the list of toxins they release is scary. And guess what? When this happens, you get headaches. Fevers. And a little nauseated. Sounds like my day. You can read about it here.
So what to do about that? Ugh, I'm not sure yet - I'm still researching. If I'm making myself sick by making myself better (diabetic chemo sounds like a great analogy here....) then what? Apparently, you can slow down the die off and/or take a cleanse to help your liver get everything out. And drink TONS of water. So, I've already ordered the biocleanse from Plexus even before starting this research. And now I'm going to go find a bottle of water. And drink my weight in it. Because this headache is not at all a good thing.
But no way do I want to give up.
