It could be food allergies!
I avoid doctors. It seems to me they all carry a scalpel in their back pocket and whip it out as a first resort rather than exploring other methods.Not all doctors. There are some who are healers who explore and ask questions and actually listen when you speak to them. It just takes a while to find them. I am currently between medical personnel going back and forth in my mind about exploring the whys of the peripheral neuropathy that is making typing quite a challenge especially with "a" and "s" and capitalisation. And doing up a button or a bra is an interesting experience when the sensitivity of one set of fingers is more focused on pain than the sense of touch.
And now this morning I have the sniffles. Not particularly convenient as I have this huge Valentine's Day presentation tomorrow and will need my voice to be in top working order for four hours. As I lay awake, taking stock of me this morning, I realised I feel tired today as well.
A shadow of the exhaustion that has dogged me for the last five or six years until my fast two, no three weeks ago now, but the same flavour of tired that has tugged and pulled against my every step like some personal gravity well. A black hole that sucked the juices out of me.
Adding foods back after being foodless has been a joy of tastes and textures, shameless hedonism at its best. And up till now no negative reactions, or none so severe I saw or felt a change in the rhythms of my functioning. Up till now.
And the only thing that stands out as a beacon is I increased the wheat, having not only a slice of toast but also my proudly designed grilled veggie pizza delicately constructed without cheese on a bakes-up-crispy seven inch crust. And the day before I had bread twice because i just adore a sandwich nestled in the golden crusty hardness of a baguette.
And today my skin is itchy, my nose and throat all clogged, and I am tired. What a total bummer if I am wheat sensitive (actually not unlikely with my ethnic melting pot) because I do so love the occasional loaf of french bread, sourdough, heck even now and then a pancake or a stack!
I am very intolerant of lactose, but I never liked milk or milk products much with the exception of cheese and I can have a bar of chocolate in my fridge for weeks after eating just one piece as sugar holds very little charm for me (my indulgence runs to hot and spicy, wasabi intoxicates me and I will take more with tears streaming down my cheeks from the heat of it) but I do like bread every now and then.
Of course I had tomato sauce on the pizza, maybe it is that!

I totally agree with you about doctors - I never visit for minor ailments as I believe we can manage our own health, by what we eat, think and lifestyle we lead. In my experience too, wheat, particularly in bread has brought on tiredness - but so are these emoticons flashing at me!!!
have a good day!
