another screaming migraine

Post by Laurie »

wow- another screaming migraine waking me up tonight. I hope this is withdrawal from all the toxins leaving my body or something.

Been GF and CF for only a few days, well, maybe a week by now? - I was D free for one day again today (yep, shocking to me too).

But another killer migraine - normally I may get 1-2 a month, not just 2 days after my last. argh....

thanks again for all the posting! I read every thread, don't comment a lot, but as a newbie I am learning lots from all of you. I think I am ready, more than ever, to make some real changes for my own health instead of taking the path of least resistance. (cutting out my Diet Coke now too)

I believe your migraines may be helped by your new diet.

Good idea to cut out the Diet Coke, Laurie, the stuff is poison and it is hard to get off of it.

http://www.mercola.com/article/aspartame/dangers.htm

Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death.(1) A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.

given this is your second one in a short time, maybe it is 'withdrawal' type symptoms from the foods/drinks you have eliminated...

hang in there, it will be worth it!!

Yeah Gabes - not just 2 either...
Had a migraine at 7 pm - went away by 11...
