Day 48
Overall I feel so much better being AF but I do have a few symptoms I do not know if they are related to my new healthy life style or not. The major one is having restless leg syndrome. It is driving me crAzY!!! I need my sleep. In my drinking days I would have spouts of restless nights, but most nights I poured myself into bed and passed out so consciously I am not sure if it was really bad or not.
I have tried taking magnesium supplements and I drink Calm nightly but still struggle. I purchased a really awful elixir that contained apple cider vinegar, garlic and ginger. They had warned me it tasted awful but worked great. I thought "If I could drink Peppermint Schnapps nightly, this will be no problem". Boy was I wrong. It was horrible. But I was so desperate I would try anything to get some sleep. Well it seemed to work for like 2 hours then they would act up again. So I did find another remedy in drop form that doesn't taste near as bad and works great. But I am at a loss why it is so bad now. I should be absorbing my vitamins now, not like when I was drinking and was lacking. I have tried to Google it but haven't really confirmed this is a side effect this far out. Has anyone else struggled with this? I know I am drinking enough water as that is all I drink now.
On another note this morning I woke up and looked hung over. I never really noticed visually how bad I looked for so many years but now I am so conscious of it even though I am not waking up hung over. My eyes were all poofy and my fingers were all swollen. I didn't really eat or do anything out of the ordinary last night so I am not sure where this is coming from either. My hands seemed to go down pretty quickly but I feel my face is still poofy. Hoping tomorrow is a better day.
