I don’t get migraine headaches regularly but it gets pretty ugly when I do get one. I just go to my room, shut all the blinds till it’s very dark, I don’t like to hear any noise, etc. Can’t even lie down.. I just get my pain med to try to cut the edge off of the pain. What I do to avoid getting an attack, since my triggers are from certain food, is avoid too much oily stuff, chocolate, cheese, peanuts. MSG is also a no-no so I steer away from instant noodles, soups, etc. What are your triggers?

Oh, thanks. I never knew MSG can trigger migraine headaches too! I’ll check on that. What’s your pain medication, by the way? Is it also fioricet? That’s what I’ve been taking for heavy attacks and so far, it’s been my best friend. Not in an addicting way, though.

I get awful headaches from MSG, ouch! It used to be much more common in the 80's to use it but lots of restaurants have stopped because so many people have had such issues with it. I stay away from it at all costs.

That's great, diane, sounds like that's ideal for you then. I've not had one since I don't know when, thank goodness. I never knew about MSG either...interesting.
