[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2306939, member: 368709"] I’d agree that for those with chronic, frequent migraines there are wider factors in play than the ‘simple’ triggers which may more easily be spotted for those with far less frequent episodic migraine. Unpicking the underlying issues - blood sugar, hormones - will likely unlock a path to reducing frequency and/or severity. For myself I know that a number of things I once held as unequivocal causes/triggers for migraines, or for making them worse no longer hold true. Most significant among these are fasting/missing a meal/eating later than usual. I mention this not to promote or encourage you to try them, or suggest that exactly what worked for me will work for you, but as an example of how a change in one area - in my case blood sugar control - might lead to change in another. It was an absolutely enormous leap for me to try skipping breakfast just once. Enormous. And it didn’t come until I was over 6 months into my journey and felt ready to give it a go. I’d suggest eating food as low in carb as you can - your suggestion of eggs is a great one. It is a myth that carbs are needed for energy. Giving your body something to work with that won’t exacerbate blood sugar fluctuations would be key, I think. These days I can exercise fasted, but that’s been a very long time coming and I wouldn’t recommend it as a starting strategy while you try to sort everything out. You might be interested in the work if Dr Angela Stanton if you haven’t already come across her in your search. I really hope you get to the bottom of this. I well remember the all consuming nature of intractable, chronic migraines. There are no easy solutions. [/QUOTE]
