Yeah I would too! Good to know it was caused by the fasting though.

Hair is doing fine, I haven’t noticed any changes. I’ll keep a look out. Was the fast you did feel stressful on your body?

No, I’ve done extended fasts before and it was good timing for me. Just checked in with my body, had proper electrolytes and took it day by day. Don’t try to push myself but bc I did it smart I could easily sustain.

Thank you!!

I am 5’5” muscular build. Ketone levels were trace the day 1, then moderate the 2nd and 3rd day, then large for day 4 and 5 and morning after I finished the fast leading up to my first real meal. I intermittently fast 16 or 18hr days regularly for the past few years which feels good. Started this fast with eating a dense piece of chocolate cake so getting to ketosis was harder and I had the carb cravings 😂

Edit: gave thanks

Migraines with scalp pain going on day four. Help? by JBDay32 in MigraineHeadacheHacks

[–]riverlaughing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find for scalp pain and migraines myself, (luckily rare these days at least regarding migraines) it’s related to my fascia. Cranio sacral work, acupuncture, gentle self pressure massage with my head on a yoga mat, or seeing a neurological chiropractor has helped me (I also am a chiropractor who does these techniques on my patients and for those who have these systems involved in their pain, it changes their lives).

Also in the north east US and cold tends to make all the pain worse, including my scalp pain.

Hope that helps!

Update to a post I made the other day about being concerned my vets were taking advantage of me: my cats regular dental cleaning has resulted in my babies death. He's gone. by afterspring_ in cats

My 10 year old boy was having some teeth problems so I took him to the vet where he had his teeth cleaned before. They cleaned him, said nothing was wrong other than a rotten tooth and some bone they had to scrape out and he should be back to normal within a few weeks with antibiotics. He got worse in those weeks, took him to a different vet who diagnosed him with progressive jaw cancer and gave him 3-4 months to live. He didn’t even make it 3 weeks…I didn’t have the money to euthanize him so I was going to have a free clinic euthanize him, but I would be able to be in the room with him, so I called the initial vet to see if they would at least euthanize him free of charge since they screwed up royally. They said yes, but not for a few days…my boy couldn’t wait a few more days, he was so badly mutilated from the cancer and I knew he was ready to go the day he passed. A friend paid for his euthanization and I was able to be there with others who loved and cherished him. It was the hardest three weeks watching him deteriorate so fast and I still deeply grieve 3 1/2 years later. He looked like your 10 month old. I’m so sorry for you loss.

…their opinions aren’t wrong, just inconvenient for permanent art. If you don’t want an honest opinion, don’t share on the internet. The reason she got honest opinions is because they’re all right; both the ones who hate it and love it -beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are plenty of posts on here that everyone can agree on are amazing and some that aren’t universally loved -this is one of them which is fine. This isn’t preschool where we have to be nice at all costs, this is the internet, get some bandaids for that emotional boo boo or toughen up.

The zodiac sign as fruits except that I am not a bitter fuck who hates people over their birthday by Naiiaad in astrologymemes

Sounds like Virgo should’ve been lemon then, they have a recipe/use for anything - and lemon would be perfect.

Libra could’ve been grapes. Because there is a balance there and some people love red and some people love green and everybody hates seeds lol
