Migraines?

[jbhedge2 0]

I regards to the aritifical sweetners that could trigger the migranes, where does the new sweetner Truvia fall? It claims to be natural...

I have had migranes over my life, but usually 2-4 a year. I was banded 2 wks ago today and I had one during my 2 wk pre op diet period and have gotten aother one today. I am just trying to figure out if there is something that my body might be lacking? Any ideas?

I have had migranes over the years, but never very bad. Usually 3-5 a year. I was banded on April 29th, 2010, and have had 3 since then and #4 today. I am wondering what I am not getting enough of... , I wonder what I may have depleated from my system? I don't want to have to take medication on a regular basis. Any suggstions or ideas?

wow...this is so funny...not ha ha but I used to suffer from Migraines a lot and very often. usually 1-2 a month. I haven't had one in a year or so and I had one yesterday....I still have some of the residual pain today....I don't know what triggered it, probably hormones and/or stress....I am hoping this does not become more frequent again....

I have taken Imatrex in the past and it worked so if this becomes a problem, I will ask my medical doctor for a prescription for something....

Hope you are all well,

Meg

I get Migraines very regularly, usually a few times a week. I've been prescribed imitrax as well. It burns my stomach, so I cannot take the imitrex for every Migraine that I get. I have been taking tylenol with codeine and that has seemed to lessen it, but not completely resolve the migraine.

My nutrionist says having skim/soy milk if you get a Migraine or headache should help. I'm a bad migraine sufferer but so far so good.

Hope that helps!!!

mine got worse and are now slowly getting better. if yours have ever been hormone based, losing weight throws off your estrogen as you lose the fat. i hope yours get better soon.

i take relpax when necessary. as soon as i have an inkling of a headache.

Truvia is stevia, I believe. Stevia is a plant. I have some growing in my yard. It isn't a manipulated chemical. It is also good for sugar levels. My diabetic husband has been using it for years.
