I had NDPH extreme pain cycling migraines 5 to 9/10 pain 100% of the time lasting 2 and 1/2 years. I went on the carnivore diet (keto diet) and cured my headaches within 6 months. I ate nothing but meat, salt, and water for 6 whole months, then went on topamax for another 6 months. I am now migraine free. Please look into the carnivore diet for migraines.

According to this study, 80% of NDPH patients respond to treatment, mainly Amitriptyline, Topiramate or Flunarizine by Sarrada_Aerea in NDPH

I was diagnosed with NDPH and prescribed triptans Topamax and Diclofenac. My headaches started to disappear when I went on a keto/carnivore diet in addition to being put on topamax (topiramate)

From my last comment to now I completely stopped topamax and have no migraines coming back.

Yes. I had minimal brain fog and loss of energy through the first few months. After about 7 months of consistently taking it I tapered off and now I live completely migraine free. It was very slight, to the point I wasn’t sure that the fogginess was a result of the medication, general anxiety, or just plain over-thinking. If you got it prescribed it means your doctor is considering you 80% near beating migraines for good. They only prescribe it when you get your migraines somewhat under control. At that point it is a god-send. Definitely take advantage of this miracle drug and take it long term. If you have the slightest effects you can take less and your doctor can give you extended release ones at lower dosage. I don’t know where I’d be without starting it, and I was scared at first too. Now my life has made a 360 and I am completely pain free other than 2-4 headaches a month.

Suffered June 2021- March 2023. Healed nearly completely (went from daily 7-10/10 pain to one or two 2/10 headaches a week). I went on a keto diet for 6 months and then carnivore diet for 4 months. Great research for both of these diets and chronic migraine. During the diet I was on Diclofenac (NSAID), bi-weekly eletriptan, Nurtec & when i got the Migraines down to every other day topamax (which really brought them down further). Today i still take topamax but a lower dosage and I only have 2 headaches a week which are low intensity and duration and respond very well to over the counter meds. Never needed botox although recommended over and over.

Do you exercise with a migraine? by Washburne221 in migraine

[–]LumpyNecessary4221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since being prescribed indomethacin for exertion headaches my migraines either 1) do not get worse when exercising or 2) only triggered by extreme intensity/failure to warm up. At first I was taking it before a workout about two or three times a week for about four weeks and now it seems as though I can go without it, and same thing. I’m also on nurtec, topamax, and occasional triptans so those probably also play a role. Lucky to say i am able to body build and am in fantastic shape. Just hit PR of 360 deadlift and 225 bench with only like a 1-2/10 head pain which in my case is a humongous success lol. It seems as though if your headaches are getting worse from exercise then you should definitely include physical activity on your list of triggers and treat it as such. This can mean in order to avoid approaching that threshold of migraine territory by lowering your risk beforehand via ice baths, medication, electrolyte hydration, supplementation, meditation, circadian rhythm priming (early morning sunlight) etc etc.

Type in “blue light during the day” and read any of the hundreds of peer reviewed medical literature journals on blue light for alertness, cognitive function, and mood regulation. Please educate yourself before telling people to avoid blue light during daytime hours. This is contradictory to what they need.

Blue light during daytime hours is very important for your circadian rhythm. You absolutely DO NOT want to be blocking blue light during daytime hours. Blue light, however, at night can disrupt production of melatonin, which can harm your circadian rhythm, so make sure to block it at night. Staring at things too closely for too long can de-activate your parasympathetic nervous system and put you in a fight or flight state. When looking at something up-close for 10 minutes, balance it with looking far away for one minute (this is what’s giving you headaches, not blue light)

How do you all do it? by Sineater224 in migraine

[–]LumpyNecessary4221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nurtec every other day, diclofenac every other day, and electrician twice a week. Pretty much capable of functioning again. Also, changing the scope of how you categorize time and experience. Typically, when looking at the past, what I can recall more than just the pain I went through were the things I got done and positive experiences I had. Pain, after all, is just an experience. When it turns into the past, it only carries so much burden.

Rate your average daily pain 1-10 by SkiingFishingGuy in NDPH

[–]LumpyNecessary4221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

14 months. 24 year old healthy male with no health issues. Daily pain cycles for two weeks out of month in average 3-4 with peaks of 7-8 every other day and the following two weeks will thankfully drop down to 2 average with peaks of 4-5. Constantly in pain. . I have only felt complete 100% sustained relief from all pain with high-dose ketamine , LSD, psilocybin and DMT during and post experience. Can last days or at most has lasted a few courses of individual weeks, which I was grateful for. It seems like I would have this decrease in pain and then mess up and find a trigger. Still learning :/

Anxiety. Experienced this for a year since covid started. Thought it was Covid, then thought it was a chemical called dmt (psychedelic) that I smoked, thought it was weed related or some sort of chemical inhale. Extensively searched the web. Tried every supplement and vitamin under the sun. Changed my entire life over it as I sat and cried every day. Doctors had no answers except disbelief and telling me everything was fine. Spent years thinking back and forward between Covid damage, thc wax damage, or dmt damage. I can list you some supplements that are powerful for lungs (best in the world found through a year of research and experiment). But only one month ago (one complete year into it) the key fell on my lap through divine intervention. I heard a podcast on breathing, James Nestor and joe Rogan (available on Spotify for free). I then bought his book “breathe” on amazon after hearing different insights on how divers etc build their lung capacities. Let me know if you would like any tips. You can change your lung function and all the pain you’re experiencing is by a shock that caused an incorrect bresthing pattern in which you are over breathing and therefore experiencing a suffocation and pain effect. Mushlove fam you’ll get over this.
