my neurologist has me on 400 mg B2 and it has helped.
@ameliascottbarrettmd17 күн бұрын
Awesome!
@annettewebster29618 күн бұрын
Your question……why 400mg of B2? It is dose dependent. 1 or 2 mg is nothing & will do nothing. Since it is water soluble, there is no danger of overdose. I had the NutrEval testing done a couple of years ago thru a Functional Medicine Doctor (trained at Vanderbilt). The one nutrient that was really low was B2. Also, the one a day multi vitamins are typically synthetic & not broken down by the body……..best to go with food based supplements.
@ameliascottbarrettmd17 күн бұрын
That's awesome that you had testing done to figure out what you actually needed! We need more of that in migraine management. And I totally agree about the usual multivitamins; here's the one I like for myself and for the students in Migraine Relief Code: us.fullscript.com/plans/ameliascottbarrettmd-one-multivitamin. It has 3 mg of riboflavin. But we've never done any studies with doses of riblofavin lower than 400 mg, so I just don't think we know how much you really need to reduce migraines, you know? And I think definitely if you have the bandwidth to take more supplements, go for it! Take B2 in addition to the multi! I feel like a lot of people want to focus on what they really need, and in this case there is no science to say that a lower dose won't help.

So I’ve always been told (20 years of migraines) that it can be 72 hours for trigger reaction. So because you didn’t get a headache “that day” doesn’t seem totally accurate
@ameliascottbarrettmdАй бұрын
I think it depends on how you're using the word... yes, if you have a food sensitivity, as opposed to a food allergy, the reaction can be delayed. Many people use the word "trigger" to describe something like a barometric pressure change or a glass of red wine, where you get a migraine within a few hours.

Hmm, I don't think I said otherwise. Some people have high levels of histamine from problems like allergies or MCAS that does contribute to headaches, but that's not the case for everybody. I think all people with headaches need testing to figure out the root causes of their headaches so that they aren't working really hard to treat a problem they don't have.

Cottonwood fluff comes from the flower/seed from female trees. it is not the pollen containing part of the tree, which is produced only by male plants well before the female catkins appear. People mistakenly blame the fluff for their allergy symptoms but it is something else that is releasing pollen at the same time, for example pine. Cottonwood trees are incredible medicine as well as keystone species for river health and it's unfortunate that they gets such a bad reputation from misinformation.

What you said about inflammation and migraine...when I was initially getting treatment and the doctor was trying to figure out what was wrong with me he put me on a Medrol pack...during that time my symptoms greatly improved...once it was done they came back full force...which makes me think inflammation plays a huge role in what I have (the diagnosis is vestibular migraine...my symptoms tend to vm but also to MdDs and Menieres).

I've been a long sufferer from migraines and have been on all types of meds. Sometimes I would get them weekly and they would last for days. The headache seemed to return after the meds wore off. Then recently I also started developing facial flushing after eating. Not sure what was going on, my doctor ran a bunch of tests but everything came back normal. Then after reading some info online, I thought maybe it might be histamine related. So I started taking a claritin daily, and while it didn't help with my flushing, my migraines completely disappeared. It was immediate too. I have NOT had a headache in 3 months. Not even a mild one. I didn't think the two issues could be related. Needless to say I'm staying on the antihistamine.

why not track down what is the root cause (aspartame, Splenda, Sucralose, MSG, perfume, dryer sheets/detergents (Gain is the worse!), cigarette smoke, fresh newsprint, gasoline fumes, wheat, dairy, nightshades, etc). You really should not have to drug yourself daily to avoid headaches……something is triggering them so become a detective! Best of luck, I can’t imagine having a migraine that lasts for days! Also, look into the connection between low Magnesium and/or low B2 & migraines.

Hello from México. My father had COVID in diciembre of 2022. Ive read that COVID changes ower microbiota gut and triggers histamine. After my father had COVID he has migrane all day and sneeze all day and runny nose. Yesterday we went with a neurologist and i told him about maybe My father has his histamine high , he told me it was not the cause of his migrane . How could he know this is not the cause? I told him that he eat prune and his migrane for 2 days was worst , and i know prune is high in histame. Why would doctor didnt want to make some blood test to SEE if my father histame was high, i just don't understand
