Someone recommended this book to me years ago and it changed my life: https://www.amazon.com/Heal-Your-Headache-David-Buchholz/dp/0761125663/ref=mp_s_a_1_5
It discusses a bunch of different known migraine triggers and why, when you might eat the same trigger food on different days, you only get a migraine on one of those days.
I agree that you should start with tuning in your electrolytes on keto first. Keto has been a godsend for my headaches, too. But there may be a trigger you’re overlooking, and you might not need to cut out everything to find it. Good luck!
I hope you can find the science and stories of tDCS and TMS modalities in this book helpful, they have been very helpful for many such as yourself in the past ! Wishing you the best !
Uh I'm so sorry!
I had a migraine that lasted 3 to 4 months straight. I was desperate and near hopeless. I looked up the best migraine neurologists voted best by professional colleages (in Baltimore, medical mecca of the universe) and came up with 4 specialists in migraine. These are docs that "failed" migraine patients visit when other neurologists can't help. My insurance sucked at the time so I bought the best voted doc's book Heal Your Headache by David Buccolz.. went on his program, and slowly got better although it took time. https://www.amazon.com/Heal-Your-Headache-David-Buchholz/dp/0761125663
I know chronic migraine isn't a quick fix abd sometimes nothing can be done but just wanted to share my experience in the slight chance it could be helpful.
Be well!
Headaches are a symptom of CFS. Do you know what kind of headache you have? That would help with treating it.
If it's a migraine then OTC meds can help, in particular Excedrin migraine. It has 3 active ingredients and works pretty well for some people. If OTCs aren't helping then there are quite a few prescription remedies.
If it's tension then neck stretching and strengthening exercises will help. Also make sure your environment is ergonomic. Yoga can help too.
It could be a trapped or pinched nerve. That's more difficult to treat and will probably require professional help.
Your headache could be a sinus headache, exacerbated by allergies, or it could be nonallergic rhinitis. If it's allergies then antihistamines and nasal sprays can help. If the latter then nasal sprays can help.
Some people get relief from ice packs, some people like hot packs. Some like to wrap their head in an elastic bandage, the pressure helps.
When was the last time you had your eyes checked? Might be time for glasses or a new prescription.
One thing that I use for a headache that won't go away is a cortisone shot. It takes a day or two to kick in but when it does it's amazing.
There is a good headache book out there: http://www.amazon.com/Headache-Help-Understanding-Headaches-Medications/dp/0618044361/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1433463044&sr=1-1&keywords=headache+help
Hi everyone,
My name is John Chau and I'm a Surgical Neurophsyiologist who recently published a book by the name Neuro Alchemy. I included within it, the stories and the science behind topics such as brain health optimization and an entire chapter on medical grade lasers, infrared light, photobiomodulation, red light therapy, and so forth, and other organic healing light wave therapies. I hope you can find it an enjoyable read and discover how athletes use these laser lights to heal their bodies! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CWD65TV

Read this book: Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Headaches https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0761125663/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0BX1JHT9V9BM2R042HFQ
My neurologist recommended it - changed my life.
I woke up with this type of headache almost daily for several years. Saw an ENT because I thought it was sinus and I do have crazy allergies. CT scan and sinus scope showed nothing but some inflammation. Got all that under control with allergy meds but headaches got worse.
Started seeing a neuro again. MRI showed nothing. He recommended the headache book and I discovered that my daily whey protein was a big trigger. Also garlic or onion. I cut those out - mostly - and daily headaches disappeared. Now, I have a lot of garlic or onion at dinner (coz I love it), I always wake up with that dumb headache again.
My Neurologist didn't give me any meds.
He put me on coq10, magnesium oxide, and b2 riboflavin.
He told me to follow the dietary guidelines in this book.
Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for Taking Charge of Your Headaches
I didn't follow the diet very well, so I can't speak to if it works or not. I'm taking a shot at the diet again, but its not easy.
The book also explains why your doctor is giving you those meds. According to that book its all tied together. The book will explain how the migraine meds might help with the dizziness. Although the book doesnt generally recommend that as a first treatment.
I didn't even get headaches at all, just constant dizziness and vertigo attacks. But migraines was my doctors explanation to me.
I was having full vertigo attacks every other day for 30+ days when I started taking the supplements. The attacks died down after a few weeks, which is why I kind of didn't go all in on the diet.
I'm trying the diet again with the hope it may stamp out the constant dizziness. I found a cookbook based on the diet so I'm hoping I'll do better this time.
Chapter 2 of this book covers all the science background of the different classes of lasers, wavelengths, safety, efficacy, and more from Harvard University studies on lasers, IR, light therapies
Of course! It’s this one by David Buchholz.
I highly recommend Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for those of you wondering about this elimination diet. It’s a book written by a neuroscientist and is really working for me. The most important thing is understanding that food is a trigger but that people have different thresholds for triggers resulting in a migraine. So soy one day might not cause one but another day stacked with other triggers might. Also food triggers aren’t always instantaneous so it’s hard to uncover them. This book helps you do that. I’m in month 3 and decided citrus is the first thing I want to try adding back in. It’s hard and I agree it’s all my favorite foods you can’t have but worth it. My migraines have been cut in half.
MRI and CT scans can show areas of brain activity restored after having been "dead", with modalities such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.
This book has an entire chapter devoted to science and stories behind Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, in addition to science and stories of 3 additional brain health-enhancing modalities https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CWD65TV
This is the classic book on migraines: https://www.amazon.com/Heal-Your-Headache-David-Buchholz/dp/0761125663/ref=nodl_
Might be related or might not be related to celiac. My mom was able to stop her migraines entirely by completely avoiding chocolate, coffee, cheese, and citrus.
I remembered. It was this one. It makes a lot of claims without backing them up with sources. Some of the advice is bad.
