Going Vegetarian helps my Menstrual Migraines!!

Hi Readers!!

I haven't been around for a while (sorry) but I do have some new stuff to tell you!

Since my last post in March, I have become Vegetarian (mainly due to some digestion issues I was having) and, as well as helping the digestion issues, it has also made a huge improvement to my migraines - yay!!

I decided to go Veggie in May 2010 as an experiment initially, and only weeks later realised how much it was helping me in the migraines department.
(If you see my post from July 2009 you will see that I tried cutting out only red meat, to no effect. This time, I have cut out all meat/fish/flesh, and I have been using Quorn as a replacement)

Since that time I have not had to:
  • Take any Sumatriptan tablets
  • Miss any family days (I have a 4 year old boy)
  • Spend the day lying in a darkened room
Since then, on the recommendation of a friend, I have also been to see a Kinesiologist (don't ask me to explain what they do!) who tested me with various foods, and told me to lay off wheat & sugar.

I will see how that goes over a period of time.
