I’m being tortured with migraines at the minute. I realised a couple of months ago that eggs were triggering migraines with me. I’d eat them and next day I would have a migraine.
I could still eat foods with eggs in them, like mayonnaise, without a problem. But now that’s getting worse. I had some coleslaw at lunch time the other day and in 4 hours I had a killer migraine. Auras, vomiting, the heap.
Luckily, the sumitriptan I’m prescribed does kill them. But my doctor only gives me 6 50mg a month, and I need to take 2 to kill it. Then they make me feel like drunk for the full day.
I know there are egg-free, vegan alternatives to most things now. But does anyone know if there’s a medication that helps prevent migraines coming from food triggers? It’s surprising how many things contain eggs when you start looking! Maybe a food supplement that would help?
I don’t want to bother my gp at the minute with everything going on. It isn’t urgent. I’m just looking for some advice from anybody that might be the same?
