Headaches (me too!)

Hi,

Funny you should ask. I was wondering the same as last week, when I
started WW again (yep, been there, done it, lost it but gained some
back...) I got headaches which I never had the first time around.

My thought was that maybe I wasn't drinking enough or was my body
complaining about not getting the calories it was used to? In any
case, I had headaches, especially in the evenings and at night. Once I
even had to get up at 5am to get some painkillers because I just
couldn't sleep.

Any thoughts?

I have an odd thought to add to this ... could the headaches possibly not be
related to eating/dieting at all? The reason I even bring this up is because my
daughter and myself, as well as a few others in my circle of friends have been
complaining about headaches the past few days. They were bad enough today that I
finally ended up just laying down in the afternoon. The weather has once again
changed - hot and humid, very high dewpoints. I don't relate it at all to our
eating, since I have been eating pretty much the same for well over 2 years now.
In my case anyway, I'm beginning to think it's more to do with weather and
seasonal issues.

I agree with Joyce. I got one of those headaches that did not want to go
away. I took some allergy medicine and some tylenol and it finally gave me
some relief. More sinus related than food related. Our weather turned
horrible this weekend. First time all summer that we had to put the a/c on.

Just a thought have you cut down on the coffee ? Caffein withdrawl
gives me major headaches.
