One relative found her migraines tied very closely to the meals--lots of MSG. At home, home made smoked sausage and pickles. The sausage ends up with MSG, and the pickles are fermented and not pastaurized after the fermentation. <br /><br /><br />I have cut msg (as much as possible) foods like prepared sandwich meat etc. no homecanned pickles or homemade sausage. <br /><br /><br />Other triggers---flickering fluorescent lights, lights in gyms. Lights over bodies of water, driving into glaring sun. <br /><br />Any cheese that is not pasteurized (that leaves out like bleu cheese salad dressing, sharp cheese, etc) Pizza has lots of msg. <br /><br />A strange thing that can trigger a migraine--a COUGH! <br /><br />Regular sleep time--migraine sufferers cannot do rotating shifts very well. <br /><br />And stranger--no tequila. No wine, especially red wine. No vodka. <br /><br />But I can drink other stuff. Beer. bourbon But wines have been fermented.<br /><br />monthly women stuff. AARRRGGH! Since I have had a total hysterectomy--big relief. My sister had the same result. Less headaches.<br /><br />With these changes--I went from headache after headache--often2-3-4 a week, to maybe one really bad one a year. Smaller ones that are miserable, but I can take narcotics and rest. The bad kind were at least every week or so.

It seems there is little that isn't improved by increasing the 3s and decreasing the 6s!!! Hope that the fish oil is the cause of your reduced migraines as it is an easy thing to keep going with :)Helen in the UKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244235808545822843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039618084602059826.post-33573732166468758022011-01-30T04:04:17.536-08:002011-01-30T04:04:17.536-08:00And I'll say a prayer of thanks that they are ...And I'll say a prayer of thanks that they are gone!Miss Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422851284570747539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8039618084602059826.post-84796114811082530092011-01-29T13:44:00.848-08:002011-01-29T13:44:00.848-08:00I have not heard that about fish oil, thanks for t...I have not heard that about fish oil, thanks for the info....and if it help you, that is all that counts.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06622919657309096651noreply@blogger.com
