Yes Jay,

I was thinking dehydration with the increase of water. Plus, when I get sick(er) like with this chronic headache, that is unfortunately the first that I stop doing is drinking water. I took magnesium this am and I think it is helping. Haven't done the potassium yet, but will today (I'm still having to spread the vitamins out to lessen the blow to my stomach.) And Sodium.... I'm pretty sure I get plenty of sodium in my regular food. But Chloride?? Is that in conjuction with mag and potassium usually?? Or shall I take a swig of chlor.....ox? (ha ha same root word)

Oh and my headache is straight on both temples, like a vice. It's either there "dull" all the time and sometimes it ramps up to acute-ness, migraine style and I go lay down and shut my eyes. It's crazy that my body is starting to work again and yet with this headache I'm not exactly the "life of the party" I had hoped to be once my AS symptoms abated. Darn.

The one AS symptom that has increased is jaw stiffness. That could be because of all the extra sleep though. I feel like I'm clenching my teeth all night now, maybe from the headache?? Who knows, its a mystery.

When you did LDN for 4 months did you try Low starching it?? Also did you exercise during that time?
I couldn't tell for sure, but two weeks prior to LDN I started excercising 3-4 x per week and I felt a lot better. Maybe its because excercising boosts endorphins too?? I don't know. But I sure felt better the rest of the day when I did that in the AM.
