dizilizi Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Instead of full blown, craving filled PMS, I've had migraines this week. I usually get one really nasty migraine before I start my period or when I start. This week, I've had 3 really nasty migraines. I manage my migraines with food, so I was surprised that they were so bad this month. I mean, I've literally cut out all triggers with W30. Any suggestions? Link to comment
tj2650 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I am finding my migraines are acting up too. I don't know your age, but i will say it appears that the diet change is impacting my hormones and that is why the migraines are acting up. I also found my sugar levels dipped a bit too far, and that was an impact, so I had to add a little bit of fruit juice when they got to their worst. I am still coping with mine, since starting I have had 5 in the 15 days. Usually I get one first day of period and mid month. But I will say immediately after each migraine it appears I am "starting" again.. Hence the comment about the hormones. I empathize... Thats the best I can do for now... TJ Link to comment
mtnerak Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I too suffer from migraines, I am on day 7 and I did start my period a few days ago but my headaches and migraines have not been to bad--actually much better than usual so far. I am taking topamax and magnesium though. I stopped the fish oil for this. The topomax doesn't fully control my migraines just stops my auras, many of my daily headaches and brings my pain level down to about 3-4 but I can say it has been about a 1-3 mainly recently. I have been doing the AIP and in the morning I have been having a bone broth soup with my protein, added fat and veggies (lately broccoli slaw and kale or spinach), lunch lately has been chicken livers or fish, veggies--more raw and some fruit, then at dinner I will have my protien, usually 1/2 sweet potato, some cooked veggies or kraut, and or salad. I think the starch in the evening has helped me sleep and not wake up with a headache which is my norm. Link to comment
