Week 5

Days 1-7

Gosh, gluten is the gift that really keeps on giving, isn't it!? This week my sinus' have gone crazy. I wasn't even aware this was a possible gluten problem and, since having my tonsils removed at 12, I've never really had a problem with anything ENT related since. This week my ears feel like they're ringing and like they've been stuffed with cotton wool. I've had a huge, huge amount of pressure on the back of my head towards the nape of my neck and up into my nose. Initially I was very fearful thinking this was related to the disc problem, given how badly it has flared up (see post below). A little chat and research shows the sinus problems are very much linked with coeliac disease, something I did not know. It hasn't eased up and feels increasingly worse as the evening progresses. Sinus troubles, coupled with mounting fatigue, means I'm getting very irritable come 7pm. Poor husband. It's hard to explain to people that you just don't want to talk. Not just not to them, but not at all. My stomach is like a balloon pretty much all the time now and the wind is taking over my life. Oh, I bet he can't believe his luck in marrying this veritable feast of a being.
