save do you have any tips for managing migraines
uhhhhhh lessee
personally i have prescriptions for it cause mine screwed my brain up but obvious ones like proper rest + maybe log what you eat and see if theres any correlation + general put nutrients in your body stuff which is actually kind of hard to keep track of
i have some REALLY WEIRD scent based triggers so i have to stay away from ammonia-like scents and eucalyptus cause those will put my ass out flat IMMEDIATELY, thats not an everyone thing but maybe note if theres sensory stuff around you that might be a trigger
for me warm toned lights and screen tints are way better than cool tones/white light and if youve got light colored eyes wear amber tinted sunglasses outdoors
water + salty snack > pedialite > gatorade and depending on caffeine sensitivity maybe moderate that cause it can either help or hurt, kinda depends on the person, but water and saltines will get you electrolytes and its cheap as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck even if it doesnt taste as great as gatorade
sunlight on your skin and not in your eyeballs
also vitamin d just in general helps but its way better to actually use the sun for that than trying to digest it so like just 10ish minutes in the sun is what my neurologist recommended on top of taking 2000mg tablets
thats what ive got off the top of my head
#im not a neurologist but i dont get them as bad anymore at least#also if learning what you feel like beforehand so you can nip it before it starts helps a LOT#if you can take a painkiller before it starts itll do way more for you#but also dont undertreat it like dont stick it out thats what fucked me up hardcore just take the painkiller#i have to take at least 800mg of ibuprofen if i even sniff a migraine coming on but check with a doc before you do that#i also gotta pair it with sumatriptan and i can only do that 3 times a month Or Else#if ibuprofen doesnt knock it outta me its an er trip and they stuff an iv in me and pump my ass so full of drugs#oh also too much water can also cause migraines#best to stick with the 8 8oz a day thing and not go too far over#but yeah being proactive and preventative is better than coasting and treating them when they come#sometimes ill sip a little pickle juice causenits got magnesium and potassium on top of the sodium for electrolytes#i know food logs arent GREAT but they can help with stuff like this even just kinda checking in on if youre getting everything you need#i go sorta peasant with it like as long as ive had a couple greens in a week i should be good to go#snap peas or artichoke hearts or other really solid veggables#or#god bless#The Cucumber#cucumbers are the powerhouse of the vegatable
