About me

[desh]

Last week I drank a whole milkshake. I rarely have milkshakes. I had a headache for about 24 hours afterwards. I'm usually reluctant to draw conclusions about this sort of stuff, because there are a million different factors that can influence our bodies, but I think there's a good chance that I'm at least mildly lactose intolerant.

I still don't have a purim costume.

I'm ready for spring to just fucking get here already. Today's the first day of typical highs in Philly as high as 50°F (that's 10°C for y'all Canadians), but temps have been so low that 50 feels like a treat. We're more likely to stay near 40 for a day than approach 60, or so it seems.

My mom's best friend is in the hospital right now for something acute and possibly serious. There's a good chance she'll be fine in a few weeks, but the fact that she might not be has me worried sick.

I bought an $80 comforter at IKEA yesterday, and then I think I left it at the checkout. I'll call today, but the odds that I'm out $80 seem pretty high.

I bought my mom an MP3 player from Woot as a present, but it took over 3 weeks to get delivered and then it was defective.

My surprisingly high electric bill my first month in this apartment was just trumped by the next one, $60 higher. My only solace is that I didn't install the new CFLs until over halfway into that month. And that I just bought a programmable thermostat that I can hopefully have installed soon.

Guess that's about all. Happy Tuesday!

most people I know who are lactarded have symptoms in the lower half of their bodies, not the upper. but who knows, I could be wrong. I haven't been to nursing school yet.

You should probably not use that term with actual patients.

I still don't have a purim costume.

Neither do I. The theme is "sexy and Middle Eastern," and I don't really have either, nor can I afford anything new at the moment.

As for weather, you have it fairly warm compared to us and definitly without as much precipitation.

Maybe you just got severe brain freeze.

For 24 hours? Not starting until about an hour after I was done drinking it?

I guess with time-delayed ice or something...

I agree with Jox, headache and nothing else? That just doesn't sound like lactose intolerance at all.

A West Wing watcher such as you should know better than Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc.

Of course I know about post hoc etc, but it's the only thing I have to go on when it comes to self-diagnosing stuff like that. Everything medical is circumstantial.

And Al Gore says there's global warming...

You've got webmd too!

the only connection I can think of between dairy and headaches would be if dairy triggers allergies, and you get a sinus headache. Possible?

[desh]

My headaches are usually sinus headaches, though I've never thought of myself as someone with particularly bad allergies. Though do you mean allergies of the seasonal kind or, like, allergic to food and cats and stuff?

[rivka-m.livejournal.com]

I know some people, I believe my sister and leftyjew among them, who find that dairy aggravates other allergies. Not sure why.

some people (my mom for example) get headaches after eating a lot of sugar
