The Primal Effect

Wow... yep it has been a long time since I have been on here.  Mainly because I have been so tired lately.  I am not sure I mentioned this before, but thyroid disorders are extremely temperamental and very hard to keep in balance because (especially with Hashimotos) your body gets used to the new adjustments and then it has to be increased over and again.  I personally feel as if I have been a lot less energetic after going off of the Cytomel and on the Armour.

A couple of weeks ago, I was beginning to feel quite awful again.  Because allergy season has been particularly painful and my thyroid has also had problems I chalked it up to the two of those and we increased my thyroid.  Last week, though, I began feeling very queasy and more tired, so I went to the doctor and I was diagnosed with a parasite.

Introducing Baby H...

I have been seeing the best OB I could imagine since 2003, but unfortunately he stopped delivering at the beginning of the year; so I will be seeing another associate of his that specializes in high risk (Thank God!).  He told me that this is the kind of surprise you can expect after going primal... fertility will really increase.

At my average length for carrying a baby, I would expect a baby near Christmas :)

What things have I noticed different this time?  Well since I am now primal, I cannot turn to my trusty saltines :(  I am super nauseated.... which is a sign of a healthy baby.  Ginger Ale helped the first day I tried... and since then I have just been drinking water, sleeping, and hoping it will get better soon.  I have only really been able to eat grapes and drink water and OJ.  This morning I considered a small glass of diet coke and reconsidered as soon as I tasted it.  Apparently, after going primal, I HATE Coke.

I would love to hear any suggestions about primal morning sickness cures!
