Sharing is Caring!

I love a good hot beverage! Though I must admit that I am by no means a coffee purist. I like to add milk to and sweeten my coffee.

I've had migraines since age 3 and have struggled all my life to manage them effectively. Trial-and-error elimination diets led me to realize that gluten, tyramine (which comes from fermented/aged products like tamari and delicious cheeses), and aspartame are significant triggers for me. I've also tried a slew of prophylatic and rescue meds over the years, and am finally on a regimen that has led to a reduction in migraine intensity and frequency: - 400 mg of riboflavin and 400 mg vitamin D daily (in gummy form, because I only remember to take vitamins when they taste good) - Ajovy monthly injection - Botox every 3 months - Ubrelvy immediately upon migraine onset (I used to wait because I didn't want to use up my precious med horde, but I've learned that it's important to take rescue meds in the prodrome before I've reached the point of no return) - Advil as a supplement to Ubrelvy when I have a really resistant migraine Other tools that have helped are: - the Juva app, which teaches biofeedback (for a limited time, a free year is being offered, as they are recruiting users to help test the app--I have no affiliation with the app or possibility of monetary gain, I just want to share a good resource) - Migraine Buddy (a migraine tracking app) The list below was constructed to offer product suggestions to others who might be seeking relief from the agony and despair of a migraine-ridden life. I also recommend https://www.reddit.com/r/migraine/ for advice and compassionate support and https://askjan.org/disabilities/Migraines.cfm for school/work accommodation ideas.
