Tips on Migraine Relief

Bifrost · 08-27-2010, 08:28 PM

My migraines are relatively mild most of the time (low/no pain when I'm not hypersensitive to light/sound, moderate to severe nausea), but me and my mom've found that cutting out nirates and MSG helps. I wish I knew where to find a list of things to cut out of your diet for migraine help; I know that citrus and chocolate are on the list, as is the lack of caffiene if you're used to having a lot of it.

I do find that smaller amounts of delicious caffeine help, at least in combination with painkillers. I think it has something to do with it being a vasoconstrictor...? Bleh.
