when i finally got the the right nurologist, he gave me a huge list of
things to avoid, then he said to add them back one at a time, i saw him
because i had five migraines in three weeks, it was the same week nutrecrap
came olut in new coke... I have never been able to add this one back, and
beer was on the list, which i never drink because i am allergic to it, but i
have been able to add back cheese, mushrooms, chocolate, red wine if
limited, and dairy in general, if limited...

also msg if very limited and sugar if very limited...

this dr said migraines have four sources, food allergins, hormone
components, genetic components, and visual stimulant components,

my mother and sister both have them, so that covers genetic, i control the
food allergens, and thank the stars i made it to fifty so the hormone
component is less, and now that i am totally blind that is no longer a
factor,

sorry for rambling,

Lee
