Headache and Migraines Forum - Crippling Pains Please Reply

I used to get migraines up to 3 times a week. Mine would always involve nasea and vomtting and were all day ordeals with sleep as the only thing to help. I have some answers that should work. I initially went to a medical doctor when I used to get them and he just gave me painkillers. Here is the thing that needs to be understood: painkillers and drugs treat the symptoms, but they don't address the cause. So they won't cure the migraines they will only lessen them. Food allergies are huge with migraines, and here is what you should look out for. When I used to get them all the time I wrote down what I ate the day of and the day before each migraine I got. After so many you start to see a consistent pattern. 1. Artificial sweeteners (found in almost all diet drinks or anything that is sweet without sugar in it that isn't from a natural food store. Aspartame is the worst, splenda is hit or miss depending on the person, I just avoid them all.) 2. Sodium nitrate (found in all lunch meats, bacon, pepporoni, canadian bacon, beef jerky, etc. Most extremely processed meats will have it). 3. Msg aka monosodium glutomate (found in many chips, spices, and other things that have intense seasoning). 4. Barbecue sauce (anything that has smoke flavoring should be avoided). The reason these foods are to be avoided is because they are toxic chemicals. It is not a sensitivity like wheat or dairy, these are toxic chemicals that no one should be having, but which most people don't react to. I explain why taht is below.
Cutting these knocked my migraines down to about 1/4 of what they were before. The last thing I did was go to a craniopath. By eliminating foods I had eliminated the triggers, but it still wasn't quite enough. Here is the basic philosophy that will help you better understand what is often going on with those suffering from chronic migraines. Imagine a piece of paper with a line drawn across it about 3/4 of the way up. This is the tolerance line. Now everyone goes through stress, eats food with toxic chemicals, and have other stressors throughout a day. Most people start at the bottom of the page and each thing makes their tolerance level move up closer to the line. But because it has such a distance to go, except for extreme cases, they stay within their normal tolerance level. But for people suffering from migraines the start point is not the bottom of the page, it is closer to the middle. Now look what happens when the same stressors happen to you. You go over the tolerance line. This sends you into a migraine. Why do you start halfway instead of at the bottom? There are different reasons it can happen. For me I got three concussions as a child. This through the alignment of my skull, spine, and hips off which was what made my starting point closer to my tolerance level. This was explained to me by a craniopath who I started seeing about 5 years ago. My migraines have been virtually eliminated ever since. My recommendation is first eliminate the foods I mentioned and then if there is still a problem go in to see a craniopath. I hope this works for you as it has worked for me and many others.
