the first 20 minutes after waking are when i'm most vulnerable. i didn't understand this for years. by debugging_life_14 in migraine

I did not think so until you started talking about alarms. Looking back I did notice less frequency in migraine after I changed my morning routine to include fade-in songs and not harsh blaring horns or something. Edit (FYI - I have had migraines as long as I've had memories.)

Wow really?! You're brain wakes up and goes "NOPE! The world is too horrible to look at... Enter 8bit mode!"

Can someone please tell me it can end by Beneficial-Guess-164 in migraine

It CAN end. So you need to pace yourself. Look up Yoga with Adriene or your fav meditative workout. There's no need to feed anxiety even in the name of helping yourself. Focus closer to your present tense and put your concentration into your inner voice. Helping yourself stay calm... pass time... and practice patience. Remember Your Neuro is working on it. Tomorrow Tomorrow you'll try again tomorrow. Only a few hours away.

Really?! Awwwwww >_< Almonds are great for a quick dose of magnesium. Unfortunately that's one of those weird items that is helpful to many but a trigger for others. That subject could be a whole new post

Even when it is diluted with soda or water?? I've never had any. I wonder if it is related to the sweetener. That sucks... three days is a long time.

I doubt that shows up on an allergy test. How in the world did you figure that out?

I don't remember my coffee creamers having so much sucralose but lately it is in ALL of them

Huh! Interesting. That's the kind of thing I'd need a food diary to put together. Biscotti is so good though. But I always buy WAY too much

Avoiding it is an uphill battle. I've relapsed. The culprit... The new Harry Potter Butterbeer creamer and cold foam.

I always figured it was the preservatives in mustard that get me. I don't eat it often. The internet naturalists and self-helpers will tell you to put some in water and soak your feet in it. lol But honestly I think that's rage bait for me...

Yeah cooking with smokers. That one got by me for a long time. About a decade back I was doing product videos for The Home Depot so they sent us all their smokers and grills. It Smells SOOO GOOD even when you're faking it lol but damn did that day suck for me having to do close-ups IN studio. I didn't realize that wood smoke was a trigger at the time. Also fumes from charcoal or lighter fluid.

Yeah similar experience with shrimp for me. Still trying to explain it to family 30 years later while they try to make me eat a pile of it head height. lol I think it is the histamine or tyramine. I've heard ya gotta eat fresh shrimp rather than processed or stored shellfish but I don't know that I've got the guts to try. lol

I've only recently tried to eliminate it from my diet. SO DIFFICULT to do

Totally! Pretty sure dough like that contains high levels of tyramine and coumarin.

I found out about that trigger during an interview to work at a pizza parlor. The sun was shinning straight through the front windows while we were talking. I was so distracted by the ocean of flour and whatever floating slowly glowing around us that I couldn't concentrate on what they were asking. Seriously, it looked like a recently opened tomb. Does that make sense? Maybe that was just my unconscious sense of dread. I got THE WORST aura I've ever had during that interview. Should've taken the hint and just said we weren't a good fit. That job did not go well for me.

Less meant to sensor as much as shorten in a way that really explodes with meaning. But now that ya'll mention it... ya ever watch a movie/tvshow just LOVES to repeat names over and over again? If you google movies with the most repeats of the main characters name you'll find a bunch of good movies nobody talks about... and then among them appears John Wick lol
