Migraine?

[Broadstairsgirl]

I've been laid up in bed with the most debilitating migraine I have ever, ever had for the last two days. Could the diet be the trigger? It's my week 5 but I also have my period and wonder if it could be a combination of hormones and blood sugar. Any advice gratefully received. Still got a headache - feel like I've got a migraine hangover now!!!

I had a bad one on Sunday & it is also nearly totm. Blood sugar hugely affects mine as does water intake. I have to have at least 4l or I suffer. And I have to space shakes out. I don't find they are worse on cd than normal. Feel better soon.

have you tried the head cooling strips, I find they really help when I have a bad migraine, along with solphadiene soluble tabs x

 

[AnnieAnnie]

No, will check them out. I can't stomach soluble tablets & haven't found any that work. Thanks

I have migraines once a month. Only thing which works for me is imigran without which I wouldn't be able to work.

I find that makes me sick. Feverfew is a good natural thing to take which seems to help reduce their frequency. I know what brings mine on but it's sometimes inevitable. Sorry to hear yours are so often.

Had never heard about Feverfew - maybe I'll give it a try in time for next month

You can get it at Holland & Barratt. Hope it helps.
