Glutened

Today I am a hot mess.  I have been in denial thinking that I could cheat and sneak a few bites of gluten here and there.  I need to face the facts.  I have had a sinus infection since before Thanksgiving and thought it was just seasonal.  After two rounds of antibiotics I realize now that it's the gluten causing the inflammation that's causing the infections.  I feel like I have been hit by a truck. My ears hurt, my joints hurt, my back hurts, my face hurts.  I am so bloated and gassy and I have no energy, but can't seem to fall asleep.  And I haven't given myself any time to recover.  And today I compounded it by eating onion rings like an idiot.  Today the brain fog was so bad that if Ara hadn't been with me running errands I would probably still be driving around Williamsburg mindlessly.  I WILL NEVER EAT GLUTEN AGAIN. 
On that note, I really really wish Ara would take an interest in cooking.  I also HATE cooking.  I love eating though. 
lots and lots of tea and plain chicken in my future until I recover from poisoning myself with gluten.
