Migraines

[scottlovescourtney]

Anybody have issues with migraines? I normally get one or two a year, but since I re-started on 1/5/10, I've had about 5. What's up with that?

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your headaches. Can anything else in your life be a cause? Are you eating any foods that you never or rarely ate in the past?

I was the headache Queen at one time. Then after "the change" they really occurred less, and now that I have been eating the Atkins way, I have only had 1 migraine in 6 months, and very little of the lesser ones.

My daughter suffers from migraines and I feel so sorry for her. I don't know what could be the cause, cheese maybe?

Hi Desert,

How old is your daughter?

My sons suffered from migraines so often when they were teens. One grew out of it completely at about age 20, the other took a little longer. We found no trigger to associate to the headache. We kept a food and mood log to try to track a pattern, but we never found one.

How many calories are you consuming?

How many net carbs? Are over half of your net carbs coming from vegetables?

How much water are you drinking?

Are you eating regular meals and spreading your net carbs throughout the day?

I haven't been counting calories, but they shouldn't be low. Definitely at least half of my carbs are coming from veggies. I love veggies!! I drink at least 100 ounces of water a day.

I don't know. It's weird. Maybe it's just my body going through major adjustments.

Re: Migraines

Could it be from withdrawal of caffeine? My migraines have actually lessened since I started eating this way. I go through very little of my migraine medicine. My sinus headaches unfortunately have continued.
