    - weenie, i think you are i are related. i found that eating healthier makes a HUGE difference in the way i feel. i can also tell within minutes if a food i ate is going to cause me problems. i too, had bad migranes, had brain scans, was on various migraine medications, etc, but i STILL got migraines. my doctor suggested changed my diet. this is a board certified physician. first he said to cut out all sugar and foods with preservatives. within a few weeks i felt better. now i try to eat as healthy as i can.

    Way to go stuckinline! Sometimes it's hard not to fudge a little, especially when you fudge and get away with it! But the fact that migraine meds are so prohibitively expensive has been a huge incentive for me - especially since I work and can't just "go lay down for a while". Generally people don't understand how debilitating a migraine "headache" can be because they've never had a headache that comes near being as bad as this.

    I don't know what part of the country you live in, but being in a less humid environment has also had a positive effect for me.

    Keep it up, I'm REALLY happy for you. :D:D:D:D:D:D
    It's like having a huge weight lifted off of your shoulders isn't it?
