Just wondering -- were there so few comments on my giant post o'book reviews because nobody had anything to say, or because nobody bothered to read them? (If it's the latter, I can safely give up feeling guilty over not posting book reviews of most of the stuff I read and just stop doing it.)

In other news: halfway through the first day of no sweets, and it's going fine. Not that I usually indulge this early in the day, anyway...

I always like reading book reviews - the more the merrier. Snagged the gutenberg link for future reading when less migrainey, as it sounded quite fun. I might try the Judi Dench book if I spot it in the library, too. Sorry for commentfail, and good luck with the sweets! I'm on day 3 of giving up wheat and dairy for a while to see if it has any effect on the migraines. No effect so far, except a giant urge for cheese toasties.

RE: giving up wheat - did you see the 12-entry series by Katherine Eliska Kimbriel on BVC about going with a gluten-free diet? Maybe it would be of interest.

Thanks!

Eek, good luck! If you missed it previously, I found last summer that artificial sweeteners had an effect on mine - now that I've been off them for months, I have fewer migraines and the ones I do have are much less intense.

And I highly recommend people read the Gutenberg book! It's a bit slow at first, but ramps up near the end (and is fairly short), to the point where there was a Sudden Reveal and my thought was "Why, of course that happened! How could it not?!"

That's brilliant about the sweeteners, yay for less plaguey heads. I'd give 'em up too in a general spirit of 'eliminate!'-ness, but I only actually have them in one thing - triptans! so, um, maybe not. :)
