Is it all in my head?

Wednesday night was my first night and before bed, I got the headache from hell. Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to take anti-inflammatories, so Tylenol is quickly becoming my new best friend. Thursday afternoon another awful headache.

Is it because I've been sitting in bed hunched over a laptop? Or because a cold front was blowing in? Or is it from the drug? Or is it just in my head and is purely coincidental? I looked up side effects and headache, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are the most common side effects in the first few weeks.

Data also showed that a significant portion of the people on the placebo also reported headaches. So, basically my headaches are an indication of ... well, nothing. The only other "symptom" I've encountered is heartburn. I've had to take Prilosec for the past 3 days and I had totally been off all GERD meds for months.

I've started to take pics of my skin to document where I am at the start of the process, so that I will have a point for comparison. Two people on the Inspire.com board recommended that and it's a great idea. One participant said that she's not seeing any results and her Dr. says there is a 33% improvement. I believe her. We know our bodies and our skin well. And the question remains ... is it all in our heads or are they symptoms and results real?
