Clint experienced a strange intense head ache during his work out that affected his vision. Sounds similar to a migraine "must be brain cancer :-)" Which means I now needed to look up side affects other than the dreaded keto flue, wait I mean Carnivore Flue. Which means I found a really cool site by a doctor who explains what is happening and then lists how to fix it.
AWESOME: https://meat.health/knowledge-base/carnivore-diet-symptoms-and-cures/
Here is a chunk of information from his site:
Cures for Carnivore Adaptation Symptoms
You can dramatically lessen and perhaps even eliminate most of the suffering in the “Trough” by using some tricks to help bridge your body to the adapted state of bliss.
1. Eat more meat.
2. Hydrate
3. Electrolytes
As you lose a lot of excess water, you also lose a lot of electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride.
Supplemental Electrolytes Daily Ranges:
K – 500 – 3500 mg/day
Mg – 250-500 mg/day
Na – 2-7g/day
4. Solving GI Problems
Gastrointestinal (GI) issues are extremely common, especially if you are coming from a low fat diet.

Currently no noticeable changes to most of the list below.
Previously Noted Changes Are:
No food associated intolerances.
No Histamine based intolerance problems.
Fourth finger on my right hand at the second knuckle remains flexible and pain free.
Astma is still dormant.
Thyroid is working as it should with medicine but will have to be re evaluated following weight loss.
Testosterone/progesterone is the one animal I know least about, I will have to talk to my doctor.
Melatonin, I slept very well without it.
Food intolerance are still not a problem.
Tinnitus remains a constant.
Arthritis remains inactive and no longer a problem.
Tendinitis, is currently not an issue.
Bursitis is currently not an issue.
Spinal Bulge is currently not an issue.
New Noticeable Changes Are:
Disclaimer; some changes may take time to manifest. In some cases changes are noticed because problems don't manifest themselves again.
Additional Info on each problem:
Asthma; I have had this my entire life and in the last few years it has given me a bronchial infection roughly twice a year. Ongoing problem.
Low Thyroid; I take about 3 grain natural thyroid to adjust several problems my body has I.E. supper low body temp, poor sleep and foggy mind just to name a few. Ongoing problem.
High Testosterone and low progesterone; this is something that most likely occurred over time. To a woman high testosterone is directly related to cramping, bleeding, hair loss, and a slew of other health problems. Ongoing problem.
Low Melatonin; I had to add additional melatonin in the evening to be able to sleep through the night. Ongoing problem.
Histamine intolerance; this has caused some what of an auto immune problem over the fact I am now unable to eat a large number of foods that I absolutely love. When your told about 50 of your favorite foods are no longer on your list of available options, you have to wonder if it is worth eating plants at all. Due to this my bodies immune system is not as strong as it used to be and I find myself seriously sick more and more often (see asthma). Ongoing problem.
Food intolerances; milk, soy, cocoa
Tinnitus; ringing in the ears, unknown cause, kicked in about a year and a half ago after a severe sickness.
Arthritis; lots of use of hands over the years has caused my hands to swell when I over work them, seen most when writing, drawing, painting and other repetitive motions.
Tendinitis; in both wrists but the inflammation is under control.
Bursitis in the right shoulder; inflammation of the bursa, this took a shot of cortisone into the shoulder and physical therapy. Currently under control.
Spinal Bulge; 4 mm L5 spinal bulge on right side requiring anti inflammatory injections and 3 months of physical therapy. Currently under control.
Ultimately I will evaluate each of the symptoms I have over the next few weeks/months/etc and see which ones are alleviated, which ones go away completely, and which ones take a step back. When you loose weight it affects any medication you are on; make sure to have your doctor re evaluate your dosage. Ultimately we want to remove as many meds as possible from our life, our body is a very natural well oiled machine that on the most part can do just that if given what it needs.
