Headaches

Okay, so I went for a run/walk yesterday and I was on top of the world for most of the day.  Then it started.  Yes, I bragged a little earlier in the day about not having a headache in a week or two - at least not one of "those" headaches.  I felt is start as I was coming to mid-afternoon. 

As anyone close to me knows, I have had these headaches for quite a number of years.  I'm not complaining, they are a part of life as I know it.  The pain from the headache may or may not be intense, but it is usually accompanied by some nausea and sometimes a sensitivity to noise.  Most often, I am very tired with them.  Today's headache is not too bad, annoying, but not too bad. 

As for causes, I am at a loss.  I have tried to look at various factors, but only find some relief in regular chiropractic care.  This seems to reduce the frequency and possibly the severity.  I don't consider myself to be under a lot of stress.  I get enough sleep and stay fairly well hydrated.  I haven't found a link between any food and headaches.  The one exception is that I stopped eating tater tots, and any generic version or processed, pressed potato particles.  It seemed like while I was still eating them, they would trigger a headache.  Also, right or not, I got a severe headache after eating a delicious piece of coconut cream pie on e time - so I linked the coconut to the palm oil usually found in the tater-type products.

So, why a headache today?  That is the one-hundred-million-dollar question!  Yesterday consisted of running, toast breakfast, subbing and 4school soup (chicken dumpling) before the headache started.

I'm sure I'll continue to ponder this until my life is done!  Unless the headaches just stop.
