Sorry people my confusion is contagious - I’ll go before I infect everyone.
TMNF…yes I am “interesting” in a freakish way.
So that’s why children love me - but don’t worry, I don’t look like a freak…I just think like one

Check into proper "food combining". In case anyone doesn't know that that means, it's organizing your meals based on which foods you eat together. It is important if you want to stay alert and relaxed. Keeping this in mind, your body will absorb more nutrients from the food, your body uses less energy for simply digestion, and you will have more energy.

Examples are, do not eat meat with baked potato. Eat meat with vegatables or whole grains. Eat your fruit alone, unless you eat it for breakfast in which you will want to accompany with fiber, like rolling oats or granola. Really simple with minor adjustments, but making a huge difference.

Also, the foods which give me the worst headaches from hell have a lot of preservatives, like your average hotdog or sausage product. I rarely get headaches, I've learned to avoid a lot of what can bring them on. One way to tell if something you buy has a lot of preservatives is if there is a very high sodium content.

And get massages on your face, head, neck & shoulders!!! Use aromatherapy, like Lavender for calm. Light candles, play softer music. Get rid of clutter and paint your walls a soothing color. Keep the TV out of the room you sleep in. Stop smoking.

Just some practical steps I've taken which have worked for me.
