Last two days, intense migraines

Open the jar of marmalade and descend deep into your soul.

Have you tried changing your diet? A lot of diseases are caused by chronic inflammation, and it's a massive blind spot for modern medicine. But it could also be some kind of rare autoimmune disease… don't give up on getting the correct diagnosis.

I've kept food logs, sleep logs, logs of every day that they occurred and how long, how many hours I spent on the computer, whether or not I had glasses. Not a single thing seems to change.

As someone who has had to deal with mystery symptoms before, here's my advice.

If you take vitamins, supplements, prescription medication, or any sort of daily pill, then stop if possible. Your symptoms might actually be side effects of the medicine or supplements.

Go on an elimination diet for two weeks. If you start feeling better, then assume it's a nutritional or digestive problem and adjust your diet accordingly.

Next, you need to re-consider every single personal care product you use. Soap, deodorant, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc. Avoid fragrances and dyes.

Pay attention to your surroundings when the symptoms happen. Does it happen more frequently after spending a lot of time at home? Does it happen more frequently after spending more time at work? You might be dealing with Sick Building Syndrome.

Good luck. It took an elimination diet and throwing out all of my personal care products to discover that that I had sensitivity to salicyclates. Nightshade vegetables, a "natural" supplement I was taking, and aloe–all stuff that might be considered "healthy" and under the radar as far as allergies go–give me problems. I'm not saying that is what is causing your particular health issues, but only pointing out how commonplace stuff can fuck your health up and puzzle doctors.

That was my Junior High and High School life. I did not understand until I was cooking my own food. White rice and meat, everyday. Now I know that many foods trigger low grade migraines, which are often described as brain fog. An accumulation of low grade agitators or a single high grade agitator will trigger high grade migraines.

I believe that most people suffer from continuous low grade migraines from the food they eat, but they only experience the brain fog which is too minor for most to observe. It's really fucking weird when I point out to them that they act retarded or mean whenever they eat something in particular but they don't care or double the dose. I notice right away when my mind gets fogged. I only eat the offending food when I must for nutritional reasons and when I don't need my brain.

I only eat dairy, pork, and wheat when I absolutely must. No mega spice concoctions. I don't eat any cereals (instant mega migraine the more clowny they are). I switched to a fortified rice so I don't crave vitamins or have phantom hunger, but now my eyelid twitches. I don't eat sugar, but when I do eat dessert I eat it and let myself feel hungry again before eating a meal. Then it doesn't spike and drop my blood sugar and make me feel hungry right after the meal.
