I've been paleo for two months and the almost daily headaches, arthritis pain in my neck, and fatigue are all gone. I have stable and consistent energy throughout the day, I fall asleep easier and wake up easier, and did I mention energy???

I've only been doing this since May, but I have seen some results:

- better sleep, wake up refreshed
- more energy
- joint pain diminished (not gone, still pretty crippled, but functioning, and hoping it'll keep getting better over time)
- never hungry, never get the low-blood-sugar woozies anymore, even if I go 12+ hours between meals
- no heartburn

Going Primal in December last year was the best thing I've ever done

- 11 years of CHRONIC neck and back pain greatly reduced
- no tension/migraine like headaches
- this is a weird one I don't get car/travel sick like I use to
-seasonal allergies gone
-asthma gone
-dry skin, eczema gone
- no longer get mouth ulcers (I used to have them all the time)
-don't get sick all the time like I use to
-chronic tiredness reduced
-more regular
-improved fitness
-no mental fog

Because I;m not feeling tired all the time and lack of headaches and mental fog means I'm now studying full time which was something I would have never attempted to do before going primal.

My main thing is joint pain - GONE. I've had 5 knee surgeries and my doctors told me it was just arthritis and I needed to take anti-inflammatories daily and probably need my knees replaced once I'm old enough. I'm not even 40 yet, so not good news. And I can't stomach the anti-inflammatories - literally. They were tearing up my stomach and I felt like it was a daily choice between joint pain and stomach pain. (I decided to just live with the joint pain).

I actually started with the 4 hour body diet and then switched to basically paleo later, but after a couple months with no grains, suddenly realized that I hadn't felt any knee pain in a while. Even if I go skiing or jogging, or... well anything. I can get twinges if I tweak my knees because the ligaments are loose, but no lasting pain like I used to have. I used to not be able to wear high heels, even for 30 minutes without my knees aching for days - but a couple weeks ago I wore 4+ inch heels to a wedding and was in them for 9 hours and felt great the next day. I NEVER thought I'd be able to do that again.

During the past 7 months I had a few incidents where my husband would talk me into having a beer, or something like that and voila - knees visibly swollen for like 3 days. Back to gluten free and inflammation and pain are all gone. It's incredible.


Other things - I sleep so much better! I'm not congested anymore so I can breathe so much easier.

I have more energy overall.

I deal with temperature variations better - I don't feel like I'm melting in the heat all summer and feel the need to curl up in the A/C constantly.

Headaches are 95% gone.

Don't suffer from constant sugar cravings anymore!

EDIT: My teeth! My dentist was so impressed last time I was there. They had been watching several spots that looked like developing cavities 6 months ago and now? Gone. My gums look better, my teeth were perfect, and I'm stoked. Haha, go figure that ditching dairy completely fixed my teeth.
