[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2301716, member: 368709"] Hi [USER=528595]@Bex72[/USER] and thanks [USER=93179]@Robbity[/USER] for the tag. I’m not on the forum as often as usual as away for a few days, so sorry for the slow response. Bex, I’ve had the nerve blocking injections a couple of times to no great effect. I was treating 6-8 migraines a month (with triptans) on diagnosis and it is now more than 3 years since I last have one. I attribute this to a keto diet - when discharging me from the hospital I attended for many years the consultant did acknowledge that there was ‘anecdotal’ evidence of its efficacy for migraine. Given that a ketogenic diet is actively used for children with epilepsy and that much of the prophylactic medication used for migraine is primarily used for epilepsy, I don’t understand why it’s not mentioned to those with chronic migraines as a route to try. Have you come across Angela Stanton’s work on migraines? Worth a read. She’s also active on Twitter. Oh, and on your exercise point, I frequently walk for hours (seriously, all day) water fasted without going hypo. I’m unmedicated. Just be sure to keep your fluids and electrolytes up. [/QUOTE]
