For ladies that went on a diet and saw a difference, can you please elaborate?
I suffer from terrible chronic migraines for the last 30 years and wondering if I should do that.
I've thought about it a bunch of time but when I see no gluten, no sugar, no corn...I panic.
What did a typical day looks like?
(Ps: I don't eat fruits at all so can't have a diet that suggests fruits 3×/day)

My teen just started. I saw somewhere that cheese makes it worse. She went off cheese and it was better but sometimes she indulges in school and the next day she can't go to school.

OP here

Sooooo it's been a while....

My DS has been getting light migraines on and off, but he takes his pain meds immideatly and is B'H functioning, suffering, yet functuoning.
B'H, the accupuncture and quick pain relief meds are working

Today he took an Iboprufen at 12om for a muscle sore
At 2pm, he calls me from school that he starts a migraine, but all he has iboprufen which he took 2 hours earlier.
Thank G'd, he's teacher handed him his own last paracetamol, and after about an 40 min, he was fine again.

Of course, I have an event tonight.
And as I'm getting ready, he looks pale and says "It's starting again"
No problem, iboprufen to the rescue.
Except, it didn't help!
He's in a dark room, suffering.
And he took Melatonin, since he thought like this he'd fall asleep & won't suffer......

I'm gratefull that it's been such a long time since last time, and yet each time it hurts me so much to see him suffer.

Thank you for listening/reading...

I've suffered from migraines from my preteens until now, close to 30 years. Is triptans not an option for your son? It's the only thing that helps me at all. I wish l had started sooner and saved myself years of suffering. Unfortunately dietary changes didn't help me in any way.

The Doctor gave it to me as a nosespray called Zonic, I believe it's the same thing.
But he advised mw not to use it, unless it's really really bad.
As in when he suffers longer then 24 hours.
I think it has to do with his age perhaps?
My DS is 11 years old, and I haven't been back by the neurologist in the past 1.5 years....

Maybe you should check again. It's hard to describe the suffering of a migraine for 24 hours.

Migraine has more chances of getting better, the earlier it's treated!! So triptan as soon as Migraine start might get rid of it with only 1 dose rather than a bunch of stuff!
