My migraines began after a car accident; I have severe memory damage. Since the age of 16, I have had a headache every day of my life....migraines that last 4 hours if caught early enough and some that last days. If I keep everything fairly quiet and totally without stress they occur less often.
A doctor informed me to ovoid all processed foods because of the MSG and other additives. It has helped a lot eating fresh homemade food. Avoiding alcohol and pop really helps.
Any prolonged amount of bright lights/shunshine is a real terrible trigger also. I absolutely love to spend hours outside in the sun....now I try to wear a big floppy hat and sunglasses. Another trigger is traveling, probablly from the stress and climate changes combined.
Because my migraines hit the same area of the brain damage, I have blackouts, seizures and totally loose my memory of events going on during these times. I do not feel sorry for myself just my family and friends who have to deal with all of this.
Sorry, I am beginning to carry on. Thanks for letting me share.
