Text of the page (random words):
hough i have not been counting for a long while i would generally advise when trying this to cut down to a true low carb diet for a while and see if it helps then even try a ketogenic diet if that doesn t work cutting back severely or entirely on breads pasta and white potatoes is a huge part of this eating small portions of unsweetened sweet potatoes and other tubers that are higher in fiber is fine my wife is caribbean so i eat things like plantain green not sweet in the least bananas taro root and african jamaican yam gluten free oatmeal for breakfast is great too as a bowl is about 30 grams of carbs put some fruit banana or raisins dried cranberries in it for some sweetness if you boil it with some nutmeg and cinnamon that makes it a bit tastier too i am personally very sensitive to even small amounts in caffeine so giving this up was a no brainer on my part i would suggest removing caffeine to see if there is any improvement but many people with migraine are fine with caffeine and it even helps some people again this is individual maybe related to the caffeine issue i have found that chocolate is also a trigger for me i mourn this as much as the loss of coffee but the loss pales in comparison to positives of not have life destroying migraines all the time another big thing that helped me is removing gluten from my diet this is really a difficult thing to do if one is used to eating out or has a typical american diet i certainly did but you should find out within a month of strictly avoiding gluten if there is any benefit it is found in bread but also in many sauces some rice yes they add it often to rice at chinese and sushi restaurants prepared foods fried foods they often fry everything breaded or not in the same oil essentially anything made from wheat barley or rye or which has been in contact with it it is best to just avoid eating out or eating prepared processed foods altogether when testing for a gluten issue finally a really important thing is to avoid reduce your intake of omega 6 fatty acids and increase your intake of omega 3 fatty acids omega 6 fatty acids come almost entirely from vegetable and seed oils vegetable oil soybean oil sunflower oil safflower oil peanut oil grapeseed oil corn oil canola oil etc in terms of cooking use coconut oil olive oil check online to make sure the brand is really olive oil and not a vegetable oil substitute and butter also related to this i have also found that peanuts and especially peanut butter are triggers for my migraines although not if i only have a little very infrequently i think it has to do with the oil in it it has also helped me to supplement my omega 3 intake with a fish oil supplement here s a really highly rate one viva naturals that i use from amazon one a day after a meal is fine to help counteract the omega 6 fatty acids the only other things i do currently is take a vitamin d supplement for energy 5000 iu a day in the morning together with one vitamin k2 supplement 100 mcg if i don t take that that level of vitamin d gives me vertigo for some reason along with nasacort for my sinuses no more zyrtec i take the full dose of nasacort 2 sprays in each nostril one a day this helps keep my sinuses more open and lessens the impact of changes in the weather on me since this is a big trigger for me personally if you find sinus pressure or weather systems trigger migraines for you it s worth a try best to keep the number of pills medications to a minimum though not sure how much the vitamin d affects the migraines but if you find you have symptoms of vitamin d deficiency it might help it really helped bring up my energy level and base mood triggers warning thinking in terms of threshold instead you may have some other triggers in your diet to deal with that differ from mine too or possibly no obvious triggers i put this in quotes because a fixation on ridding yourself of the triggers which as the metaphor goes initiate a migraine like a trigger initiates a gunshot can be misleading and anxiety inducing turknett in the migraine miracle argues for a different way to think of how migraines start the threshold his theory which i think is a helpful way to think about this but maybe not completely the case i really don t know for sure is that there are a range of things that in combination add up until they reach a threshold where your brain reacts by launching a migraine attack diet may only account for half of this maybe more or less for different individuals and it is one of the few factors we have a great amount of control over for example stress and anxiety are major factors for me as well as large changes in the weather and they have been responsible for many migraines in part overstimulation or just getting too excited is also an issue with me that contributes to my migraines i have learned however in terms of breaching the threshold in this theory if you can lessen the impact of your diet and maybe your stress level then the other factors beyond your control will be less likely to reach to a combined point that will trigger a migraine one very welcome side effect of the migraine miracle diet oh and i lost about 30 pounds over a three month period by shifting to this diet i was a bit overweight so this was great for me this was an unexpected side effect of the diet and i still haven t put any of that weight back on after two years and have since stayed roughly 45 pounds beneath my previous weight which puts me in a healthy weight range for my body size diet is also a very individual thing so it may be different for you but for many people low carb higher fat diets lead to weight loss or healthy weight stabilization recommended natural remedy the nutmeg head wrap i also have one more suggestion for helping endure and sleep better through migraines this is the single most helpful treatment i have used for alleviating the agony of a migraine episode and it came from the folk remedies of the caribbean while visiting my in laws one summer in st lucia instructions onto a very thin cloth like a head wrap or neckerchief grate about half of a nutmeg in a line about as wide as your forehead along a line running diagonally across the cloth between two corners then wrap this around your head so it covers your forehead just over the eyebrows or wherever pain is concentrated just not directly on your eyes be sure to use whole nutmegs not the stuff that has been ground already freshly ground whole nutmegs are much more potent than pre ground nutmeg the fumes of the nutmeg are very helpful to breathe in as they are a sleep aid and act as a muscle relaxant additionally the nutmeg against the forehead will also numb the area quite a bit i d say 30 or so after 15 30 minutes when i do this i find that my muscles and body are much less sore after the migraine and i feel like i have had a least some rest i leave it on for 4 8 hours as i am sleeping with it on it will have a lingering effect after you take it off and if you find it to be too sedating try wearing it for less time or grating less nutmeg in the cloth for the first use of the wrap each time i grate the nutmeg i usually only keep it on for 4 5 hours caution don t do this too often though especially if you are on anything that already increases your serotonin levels which includes some prescription drugs supplements like 5 htp and pretty much all antihistamines four or five times a month even if you were on those medicines should not cause any harm doing this too much in combination with other serotonin elevating medicines supplements or foods though could lead to overly high levels of serotonin in the brain as i mentioned above i once got sick as well as some rebound headaches from using this 3 nights a week for over a year in combination with 5 htp and zyrtec i now use this method just for the migraines that are bad enough to warrant it i can reuse the same grating of nutmeg several times too although the effect becomes progressively milder other recommendations finally it is also best to give up on nsaid pain killers and even cut down on things like tylenol they can easily cause rebound headaches they generally have not worked for me at all for many many years anyways if you are taking them often you should really question if they are actually helping or just feeding the cycle and if you can change your diet and reduce the migraine frequency that will mean less medication in general you might try to get some cbd oil from a local health food store for some relief that helps for a little while but it is currently very expensive that helped me in the past although prevention is again much better and much more cost effective finally for those who spend a lot of time at computers or staring at their cell phones or tablets i heavily recommended using blue light filtering software to reduce the strain on your eyes especially in the evening and at night my favorite program is f lux i run a windows pc but there are many variations for different operating systems on my android phone i use the built in filter for daytime viewing then at night it switches to an oranger color using a night mode app that i installed for free my eyes are much happier this way and i m sure it has saved me from many migraines in conclusion i hope that advice helps that s pretty much everything i personally have learned about dealing with my own migraines i am very passionate about helping others deal with migraines they are beyond terrible and ruined my life for a long while so if my advice can point people towards real recovery i am glad to give it posted in migraine personal tagged migraines personal leave a reply getting back in the saddle posted on february 6 2019 by eric goddard scovel 1 it is more than two years now since i wrote a blog post two years of descent into and out of depressive episodes and personal stagnation deeper than any i had ever known and i am no stranger to depression and am even a great admirer of the positive impact i have at times turned it towards in my life more on this perhaps at a later time in coming to write this post i found a draft i began in the spring of 2017 and never published it captures the spirit of the depressive aspects of the past several years very well unfinished june 2017 draft post i ve lost touch with something important something central is it desire purpose direction passion can acts have context and consequence but no significance all of my friends are struggling all of them like my wife and myself many are piecing part time temp adjunct and freelance work together into making a stagnant non living residing in either cheap barely affordable apartments or in parents or friends houses i find a place off and on for music making in my life but poetry art i have lost the feeling for words and pictures they cannot reach me even the music is lacking in depth character purpose it throbs and languishes it circles stumbles and falters i watch reruns of star trek series while eating comfort food and drinking too much i witness my maladaptation continue still from 2016 a year of personal losses and literal assault all this while 2016 was a turning point for my health finally learning how to get my migraines under control and discovering that the strength and flexibility of my body had largely returned from my 2010 back injury and conservative spite ignorance and greed now sit poised to emphasis added i think this is a great question to ask the post cut off there doubtless i meant to make some comment about the bonkers political climate of 2017 but hey its 2019 now it seems like the fears of a sudden descent into a fascist hellscape have been somewhat soothed by a midterm democratic and dare we hope progressive socialist rebuke and there is even the possibility that the plutocratic status quo may even face a serious challenge in the next few years maybe politics aside what is most clear to me is how lost i felt at the time and how much anguish was being caused by this and how much i struggled to stay in my den and lick my wounds i have felt this lost adrift feeling for much of my adult life but not always as a negative thing it had turned very sour and stifling for me so starting in 2018 i began to find my life increasingly claustrophobic and my depressive moods and coping strategies were becoming more transparent and pointless funny how depression which is most clearly identified in myself now as a knee jerk assignment of pointlessness and futility to everything which is true when you get down to it as an excuse for withdrawing from all that is negative and positive in life but definitely a wrong fear driven stance can itself become a victim of its attacks on purpose due to this greater self awareness i became insistent on dropping my coping strategies and becoming more committed to figuring out how to deal with to change improve shape my life and one by one they began to fall away the need to inebriate the netflix binging of star trek the munching even the need to calm my mind through regular applications of breathing meditation unfortunately it also seemed that a lot of the good feeling i had from making art and writing fell away too so much of my drive had been simply anxious fearful energy focused on production to justify my identity to establish my purpose for being i had to produce or i was not of any value i had to make art to justify my designation as an artist to not be nothing and nobody so i have been getting more comfortable being nothing or not worrying about being anything and getting better at seeing depression at work at seeing fear at work in me and at making the effort each day to live a life less based on fear and less concerned with finding the impossible existential answers that my depression seems to need so badly part of that is getting back to this blog and maybe soon moving it to my own server i m trying to get a feel for writing again as a tool for growth which i generally approach through the disillusionment and undermining of everything false and needy in me everything ego enhancing the idea of poembassy bombing is to stare the artificial internal edifices of institutions poetic and otherwise into rubble and dust then find a way to move on from there i often imagine myself to be finished with that work sifting through the ruins and looking for something on the horizon to set off towards but i don t think that s it yet in this metaphor i m still buried in the smoldering rubble slowly finding the strength to dig myself out because nobody is coming to help me do it i must do it alone i should say that a lot of the negativity i have gone through has faded i have managed as with my struggle to end years of chronic migraines i will blog about this soon to use every darkness and negativity in my life to seek out what is true and of value and figure out how to become a more mature wise person i know the world is still probably fucked moving ever deeper into ecological economic an...
