Morgellons -

As an intense migraine sufferer I know that it can be very difficult, it can rearrange your day even your week. It can mess with our sleep and even doing simple task that’s normal for most people, can be a battle.

Through my journey I’ve seen plenty of doctors to help with their insight and some really important things to look at because migraines can be so complicated. I’m not here to say anything specific for anyone, I just want to share what I have learned along the way in hopes that I can help someone else. Migraines are known to be a common symptom of Lyme.

So here are some critical things to think about in ways to help avoid them and common things that can trigger them.

1. Your sleep pattern. Very critical for you to try to stay within a sleep pattern giving you the same amount every night. It can be hard but over time I’ve learned what time I go to bed and what time I try to wake up every day is very helpful.
2. Your daily routine. Here again I know it sounds simple, but just the slightest things off, and can readjust parts of your brain on you it’s more difficult when you struggle with migraines. For example eating off schedule and even skipping meals will likely trigger one.
3. The food you eat. Along the way some of you may have learned which foods will trigger them. Some foods you can have a little amounts and some food you can’t have it all. It’s helpful in your daily journal when you keep track of your diet, make sure you keep track of the days you have migraines. You may be able to trace it to your food you weren’t familiar with that’s been triggering them for sometime. Also your sleep, weather and your moods can have an impact.
4. Common foods. I know many of these we don’t eat or drink, but just in case I’m telling you anyway! ;-) So anything containing Gluten, Alcohol, Caffeine, Chocolate, Dairy, Artificial Sweeteners, Soy Sauce, Chili Peppers, Bananas, Lima Beans/most Beans, Aged Cheeses, and that’s just a few! So know I’ll be adding some more in future posts.
5. Foods that can help. Dark Leafy Greens, like Spinach or Kale. Of course Avocados, Seeds and Nuts, especially Sunflower seeds and Almonds. Red meats and eggs are good too!
6. Smells. Pretty much all Cleaners, Candles, Perfumes, Lotions and those plug in the wall “air fresheners”. Bad….Very bad.
7. You’re water intake. I know we’re all pretty good at this but it’s critical and can easily be over look what you’re taking in, but a minimum 68 ounces of water daily.
8. Bright or Flashing lights. Even your tv, computer or your cell phone. Why even the sun can trigger or make one worse, so be careful. I’m sure y’all are familiar with the pain in the eyes & your head the moment you exposed to different light settings..
9. Sinus Congestion or Sinus Pressure.
10. Hormones. (enough said!)

These are a few ideas I’ve learned along the way so I hope some of the information here is helpful.

I know that migraines can be debilitating and rearrange your day. There are times when you push through and other times you’ll just hang out in a dark room for relief, but you will get relief. I know they stink! I pray some of these notes and ideas help you and I’ll definitely be sharing more along the way! Hang in there!!!


Prayers & Love y’all!
