[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 900682, member: 93179"] I've suffered from chronic "common" migraines (debilitating pain without much in the way of visual disturbances) and have had to take preventative medication for all my adult life. Originally they were mainly due to stress, hormones - which stopped with menopause - and a few trigger foods. In the last 4-5 years I additionally started having weather related ones. When I began low carbing last year they stopped completely for a while, but more recently the stormy, windy weather and some severe stress have started them off again. I think now that there were probably more food triggers than I believed, as when my husband took over shopping and cooking our diet deteriorated and included many more processed foods - jars of sauces, etc, and they got much worse. Going back to a "cleaner" and more varied diet since starting low carbing has actually helped me greatly, but there's not a lot I can do to avoid the weather patterns and stress! Robbity PS I actually had a few normal (non-migraine) headaches form a few weeks when adapting to low carbs, but they were quite bearable and not particularly serious. [/QUOTE]
