Hi to everyone,
i am a forty year old female and am intrigued by what I have just read on this site!
I have suffered from migraines for the last 25 years.
Then 5 years ago I had a brain haemorrhage and mini stroke,(all better now) but what intrigues me is this feeling that you all describe as I have something similar that i'd like to share in case it is of help to anyone..
I had been a vegetarian since my early teenage years, but turned vegan about 15 years ago after discovering lots of allergies, actually I am a wheat-free, fungus-free vegan with lots of dislikes to boot, most of my allergies have one thing in common, a migraine that usually lasts for a solid 5 days,,but each migraine is different according to what has set it off.
I get one that starts off as a tight band but has the peculiarity of having ''hot red wax '' dripping over the right back of my head,(i just know it's red ok?!) this type always scares me more than the others as it is a severe one and I am always scared that it heralds another haemorrhage, but it is always brought on by my allergy to ''eggs'' so I would just ask you all to keep a boring old food diary to see if there is any correllation between what you eat and the way your head feels, I would be very interested to know the outcome!!!
Sincerely dexi
