Aaron,

Welcome.

We have a thread at the top of this forum called resources. Check it out.

Migraines are tough, I have been living with clusters since Junior High, 2006. I dx'd with Trigeminal Neuralgia and Hemicrania Continua and Atypica face pain. Some is caused by damage to the back of me head.

My daily pain level is a 5-7 avg. I have yet ton find a neurologist that can bring it down to 3-5. Very manageable for me.

I currently am try to decided between finding a Neuro-Physchologist. or a Pain management

Since I have CPTSD. the first may be optimal.

A lot I control from diet, meditation.

The take 250mg of topomax a day as my base maintance med. the other change all the time.

I did find noticeable relieve 2 years about when I drastically changed my diet.

32oz of water or more a day
Juice with out any additives
NO CAFFIENE - it is only with the occasion magraine that this works
this means NONE, no power drinks, no soda, no chocolate in any form,
reduce cheese
NO Salt
Whole Foods [fresh produce] as much as possible]
NO red meat. chicken, fish[ no bottom feeders]
NO ARTIFICAL INGRIDIANTS, NO ARTIFICAL FLAVORS, COLORS, ESP. RED, YELLOW AND BLUE

I hope this helps.
Peace
Trina
