I too have migraines, and I've also done a lot of research on them. For what it's worth .... migraine triggers are very individual, and can change over a lifetime. So, the docs generally recommend that you try to remember what you ate over the prior 48 hours and keep track to see if there are any food items that might be your triggers. I am lucky that (so far) I have no food triggers at all. Mine seem to be triggered if I let my blood sugar drop too low. So, I sort of graze the whole day. |

Beware. There are stallions and steak knives behind each curve. And the final coast back home is not an exit to safety and tranquility but a hijacking into the next episode of.....

It has only been recently that I have suspected that what I have are migraines. Low blood sugar is a trigger, as is dehydration, and the nastiness seems to actually start in my turbinates and sinuses, so airborn allergies contribute. There is also a cyclical hormonal trigger.
Oddly enough, chocolate and caffeine both seem to help me, as do nasal decongestants. ![]() |

Coffee helps in a migraine, because it's a vaso-constrictor. She doesn't like coffee, so if she asks for a cup, I know why. ______ Dennis |

Coffee, or caffeine? (I usually have tea.)

And yet, for a lot of people, caffeine can be a migraine trigger. Go figure.

Yeah .... personally, I don't much care for forums (actually, isn't it "fora"?? my Latin stinks) where the rules are too rigidly applied. If every post has to be as dull as dishwater (oh ... gotta put that one in the list of colloquialisms) and always directly on point, no one gets to make friends. I actually pulled out of Kindle Korner, although I think all of my posts were helpful .... but, for the life of me, I could NOT remember to sign my damn posts. I'm just too used to having an automatic signature. So, on my second warning .... I just said WTF, and pulled the plug on my membership. That's the sort of thing that reminds me of those few teachers I had growing up who would beat you down with a ruler if you did anything creative. I actually had a few fingers broken by one with whom I bumped heads about my handwriting. That was 3rd grade ... I didn't WANT my handwriting to look like the stuff up on the board ... I WANTED IT TO LOOK DIFFERENT. It does look different now ... in fact it's horrible, but I figured they invented computers just for me. I'm just glad my fingers healed such that I can type. (And no .... I never rated the teacher out, so no, I never went to the doctor to have the fingers set. I just hid my hands from my mother until the swelling went down. And so they are just a bit "tweaked" looking.) |
