What helps for me: -Every day the same sleep time and same time I wake up: 23.00 - 7.00 - Eating 5 times a day, on fixed times: 8.30, 11.30, 14.30, 17.30, 20.30. I eat small meals then. - No fast carbohydrates My bloodsugar stays stable then and the part of the brain in which migrains probably starts, the hypothalamus, doesn't get disturbed.

Can you eat ghee? I know some people have issues with the A1 protein, found in most cow's dairy. Ghee has had most or all of the protein removed. There's also A2 milk or other dairy available (only the milk in my local area that I've found).

You’re lucky to of found your trigger

[@nicolasfourie5184]

@@w1975b oh wow, I didn't know that about ghee. I get migraines after going to Ocean Basket, I guess that they reuse the oil they fry chips in multiple times and that becomes "poison" to a migraineur, then there is that delicious lemon butter sauce poured over the fish. Healthy food can become toxic if cooked in old re-used oil (even olive oil) and then the butter in the sauce. So difficult to eat out as a migraineur - or eating oer at friends. Food is a social activity, so it becomes tricky to navigate. There must be a solution!

I learned from my research to eat almond nuts, salty foods like dry fish and also celery I put it in my soup or salad, furthermore, I never ate MARS cholate no more it works now, I never have episodes of excruciating pain , now I'm leaving without attack for 12 yrs and I share same remedy to my friends.

[@vikkumari]

I've been having migraines for years and over time I've only developed more triggers and more symptoms. It's horrible. I'm trying my hardest to cut out any triggers but it's hard to keep living life like that. And there's factors I can't control, like barometric pressure and hormonal headaches. I have Theraspec glasses to help with light triggers and I've cut out several foods. I have an oil roller than I keep handy a well as an eye mask. I use blue light filter on all my devices. And I'm on daily medication. But I still get migraines 4-5 times a month, if there's no rain. It's honestly miserable.

Years ago I discovered avocado’s gave me migraines. So while I love them, I don’t eat them. Tonight I had Mexican food and there was guacamole on my food. Usually I remember to ask for none. I scraped it off, but I still ended up with a headache. (Not migraine thankfully.) Sometimes (but not always) eggs, bananas or certain popcorn (air cooked is best for me vs bagged) trigger them too. By avoiding certain foods I’ve almost eliminated actual migraines.

[@komalpahwa4476]

According to Ayurveda, the condition of migraine is termed as ‘’Ardhavbhedhak’’ and it occurs due to an imbalance in tridosha or the three basic energy types: Vata (wind energy), Pitta (fire energy), and Kapha (water energy). Out of these three, Vata and Pitta dosha is mainly responsible for this disorder. Their imbalance causes deep-rooted problems in the body, including weakened digestive and nervous systems. Vata is responsible for the nervous system and brain activity. Pitta controls the dilation of the blood vessels. By studying the external symptoms, it is possible to identify which of the three doshas is causing the attack. CHANDIGARH AYURVED CENTRE

More like 50 million Americans suffer with Migraines. Also, my migraines are caused by a hole in my heart, a condition known as PFO. Not all migraines are due to external triggers. I have always been told my migraines would lessen with age. Unfortunately, they’re much worse now more than ever. There is a procedure for closing the hole but it’s only about 50% effective. I have mitral value prolapse, so just not willing to risk more damage to my heart

[@00BeesKnees00]

I think my mitral valve prolapse is linked with my migraines. The migraines and heart palpitations became worse when I used a diuretic which made me dehydrated all the time. I read somewhere that dehydration can induce MVP in normal hearts by shrinking the heart. Drinking lots of water has helped migraine sufferers. I guess it makes sense because dehydration in non-sufferers causes symptoms similar to migraine. Not saying drinking water will help your PFO. I hope you do get to resolve both the hole in the heart and migraines.
