I suffer from migraine headachesand am wondering if many of you
have the same problem.
I've had them for years
and the only trigger I can isolate is
MSG.
So that means
no Doritos,
very few flavored salty snacks,
many meat products,
and some ethnic restaurants.
Many people associate MSG
with Chinese food,
but beware -
most Chinese restaurants
will advertise "no MSG"
but other places won't
and you will find it in many meat dishes
and sauces.
Other things I have found that trigger them arestrobe or flashing lights,
intricate patterns,
frozen drinks,
and
sometimes a gentle breeze
blowing across my forehead.
And when I get one,the best relief
is to go to sleep
in a dark room -
so far I have found
no medicine,
prescription or OTC
that will give me relief.
I will be seeing a headache specialist soon
and pray he can help me because
when I get a migraine,
I loose at least 24 hours
of my life
and have missed out
on many fun events.
My regular doctor
will give me a shot of morphine
when I get one,
but that just zaps me too -
and it has to be when I have a driver
to drive me home.
The good thing is that
when I wake up,
the headache is usually gone.
If you have any suggestions,
please leave them for me.
Blessings to all who visit here,
Lynn
