"Glutamate, which is found in high levels in processed foods & also occurs naturally in some foods like tomatoes and mushrooms, is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in the nervous system, where it is known to play a role in mediating pain."

Low-glutamate diet linked to brain changes and migraine relief in veterans with Gulf War Illness
Reports and Proceedings
Georgetown University Medical Center

SAN DIEGO -- Veterans with Gulf War Illness experienced significant improvement in migraine symptoms after following a diet low in glutamate, a component of flavor enhancing food additives commonly found in processed foods, according to new research presented by Georgetown University and American University scientists. Brain scans also revealed decreased cortical thickness in patients on the diet — providing evidence, for the first time, that the improvement in symptoms was linked to measurable changes in the brain.

Many people describe that they get a headache after a SS, which I never have, though I had one last night, which may be related.

Some say theirs is triggered by stress or exertion, though it also doesn't seem to be the case for me. It's been a pretty calm, relaxing day really, active but non-strenuous work

Anyway, they're benign, and I'm glad to know that as the first experience a decade or two back was frightening, at it seems like what you'd imagine a stroke would be like.

Something I've noticed about migraine symptoms is for me they tend not to overlap. In terms of the Bucket metaphor, it feels like they are phase states.

For example, when I am not having a lot of hyperacusis (like now), other 'lesser' symptoms show up: sinusitis will happen in a very specific area and nowhere else, no runny nose but post-nasal and behind my eyes, just on the left.

The level below that is hives. They are like a warning signal, that my brain has begun to short-circuit. I get them without warning in stressful situations, but not when the migraine is at higher levels.

Brain chemistry is truly weird.

'Ketogeen dieet geeft rust bij migraine'

"Erfelijke belasting speelt nu eenmaal een rol. Maar er zijn ook triggers die migraine kunnen uitlokken zoals voeding, cafeïne, alcohol, uitdroging, spanning, inspanning, hormonen, slaaptekort en overmatig medicijngebruik."

"Insulineresistentie leidde bij mij tot schommelende bloedglucosegehaltes. Dat triggerde waarschijnlijk mijn hersenen. Toen mijn glucosebalans op orde was, had ik minder last van migraine."

"Van de 18 deelnemers gebruikte 73 procent voor aanvang van de voedingsaanpassing medicatie voor migraine. Alle deelnemers aan de enquête waren minder koolhydraten gaan gebruiken. De meeste mensen namen nog maar 15 tot 30 gram koolhydraten per dag en alle deelnemers hadden minder migraineaanvallen. Daarnaast gaven 12 van de 16 respondenten aan dat de aanvallen minder intens waren en 10 van de 14 zeiden dat de duur korter was. Ook andere zaken vielen op. Zo hadden deelnemers aan de enquête onder andere meer energie, minder hersenmist en zijn sommigen wat afgevallen."

"Deelnemers raden andere mensen met migraine vooral aan om met het dieet te starten en uit te proberen wat de effecten zijn."

bonne journée à toutes et tous

#3GoodThings

1. Half-day (okay, a little more than half) at work, afternoon off to take son to a doctor appointment.
2. Had a #migraine coming on, but stopped it with a timely dose of lovely, lovely #Nurtec.
3. Tried a new recipe for supper that was delicious enough to enter the regular rotation.

Quite literally asking for a friend because I have more reach:

Are there any good, privacy-respecting #migraine trackers for #android?

Re-toots ok and actively appreciated.

#migraine de merde
5h30, j'ouvre un œil, je sens direct que ça va pas. je descends prendre un anti migraineux, avec le ventre vide je me dis que le triptan va faire effet vite.
ça fait 2 heures, j'ai encore mal (mais moins que sans) et j'ai une nausée qui m'empêche de manger.
J'ai sommeil, je veux dormir, mais non y'a le boulot et de toute manière si je me rendors ça sera certainement pire après.
