The Juice Fast Day 2

Well it was a busy day starting with the 8.30 appt with the endocrinologist (who says this diet is ok)

I had a terrible headache again for most of the day and as days go it was a bit worse than usual (unless the usual standard needs to readjusted downwards...again...)

Stabbing or Shooting Pain	Intermittent but many times a day – hips, knees, shoulders, back, neck – the usual suspects	Average (Regular intense pain but not constant)

Sorry this is quite utilitarian as I feel kind of crappy today and I used my energy writing the 11/11/11 blog.
