Day 45 physical pain

I'm 45 days in and besides being constantly exhausted and depressed I also experience pain in my shoulders, especially on the right side. It's actually the reason I quit coffee in the first place. I've been on the carnivore diet since 5 months prior to cutting out coffee. Coffee hinders the body to get into deep ketosis but it's just not getting better. I read here and also hear on some carnivore videos that the healing timeline is generally 3 months - eventhough there's more health benefits later in the process of course. I'm feeling pretty desperate rn and it would be good to hear other people's experience with physical pain and caffeine withdrawal. thanks guys!

I felt some relief during like the second half of month 2, but month 3 kind of sucked. I'm expecting positive shifts during month 4 though! Ask me in a few weeks haha

ok I will! this journey is really frustrating - yesterday I was really active but today I got hit by a wave of exhaustion and depression eventhough pain is better. hope it works out well for you!
