I am sure this may have been approached before but when I did a search, I did not find anything similar.
Anyway, I have been raw 7 days now (was for 3 months last year) and at day 4 i had a headache all day and was very sleepy (which I expected from last time). then the next day i felt great, energized... day 6 the same until about 5 pm. Now i do not know if this is related or 2 diff incidences.
around 5 pm my thumbs began to ache (I have had thumb pain for about 10 years but it has never gotten worse or bothered me more then a "knowing it was there"- i think it may be OA, i have it in my knees also which is one of the reasons I am going back to raw) At 7 I ate a serving of pesto mushrooms.
I went to bed with an upset stomach (which I never ever have) and my hands throbing. by 2 am I was vomiting (I have not done that since I was pregnant 27 yrs ago!) and my hands were in so much pain I could not even flush the toilet with one hand. it was pitiful!!!!!
This morning when i got up my left hand is back to the usual low grade, I know it is there pain and my right hand is unusuable. I can barely drive, can't write or grasp anything. I am typing with my left hand.
Has anyone ever experienced this severe sudden pain in detox? I do not want to go to a doc, because I do not want xrays, pain meds, ibuprophen, etc.. because I am fairly sure they are going to tell me it is OA (runs in my family).
My stomach is still a bit off and I have only been able to eat 1/2 a melon and drink water all day.
I would greatly appreciate any input!
