Soda, pop, or soda-pop

kilroySo, day 10 of 14 of the no-caffeine trial. Still getting headaches basically all the time. I went back on vitamin D supplements after a week of walking through treacle and am wakeful today-- we'll see if it lasts. I did discover that it's the diet varieties of soda and not the caffeine-free versions that taste like ass-- both CF Coke and Mountain Dew are acceptable in taste, which makes this significantly easier. The lack of caffeine-bite does make them seem even more sugary though, which is a quiet reminder that soda in general isn't that great for me.
In other news, I'm trying to exercise every day now. If I keep the pace low I seem to be able to maintain it, although finding the time to do this during the week is going to be challenging. As usual, regular biking has started to firm up my stomach-- which has the ironic and annoying side effect that the more I exercise, the worse my pants fit. C'est la vie.
Yet another person has recommended Mayo to me, and a friend of mine has pointed out a way to expedite the extraction of my medical records. Apart from staying in counseling there is no logical course for me to take with our local medical establishment-- the next step really is going somewhere else. I'm just not sure I'm ready for that quite yet.
