With the advent of modern migraine medication the worst of
it was contained, but you can only take so many pills and they were not enough
to cover that many days. As a rule one learnt to pick a day or two to not be in
horrendous pain and duke it out for the others. The only thing that seemed to
alleviate some of the side effects was to bomb the body with a steady supply of
carbohydrates, to keep the stomach and the blood supplies distracted with
digestion.
As the weight has slowly gone back down the migraines worsened
once more. It was sort of a trade off for gaining a smaller waist. The smaller
it got, the more frequent the migraines became, however the cost benefits of
increased health made it worth it. Now that the weight has stabilised the
migraines have lessened in frequency to just that fake period one. It was still
a corker though...
Made worse by the fact that the gluten intolerance meant
that toast (the nose's preferred food choice) was off the menu.
Now having found a suitable bread its back on and a funny
thing has happened. Without the usual supply of wheat based products going into
the system darning the migraine, the migraines are nowhere near as bad as they
were. In fact they are almost negligible... now bear in mind one's idea of negligible
is somewhat different from others... to the point of hardly qualifying as a
migraine. Well except for that whole pain and losing vision in one eye thing J
It has however, made one start to wonder if the severity of
the migraines was exacerbated by the increased consumption of wheat. Perhaps
the body has been gluten intolerant for a very long time and one simply hasn't noticed.
Perhaps it hasn't been related to the cholesterol medication after all...
Meh perhaps if one hadn't gone on the cholesterol medication
one would have never noticed and carried on having the headaches from hell...
Who knows; silver linings and all that...
