If you ever want a bunch of unasked migraine advice, just post for a few days about your migraine, and then about the book you’re reading on migraine prevention.
Advice so far:
* Keep a journal
* Marijuana
* An ear piercing
* Cold compresses and a tile floor
* Breathe into a paper bag
* Avoid all the foods I already avoid (nitrates, aspartame)
* Avoid foods that aren’t triggers
* LSD
* Avoid light
Note that many of these are good advice. Some are terrible advice. Some are ok for the person giving the advice, but absolutely won’t work for me for various reasons.
Absolutely none of them are new.
What about garlic and crosses?
have you considered just not, you know, getting a migraine?
YES! It’s a great tactic when it works!
😛 i’m sorry that you are feeling poorly. Is there anything that does work for you?
Yes, and I did all the things and today I’m post-migraine.
Thank you for the kind thoughts.
No-one suggested Trepanning? What has the world come to? At the very least, consider a leeching for those pesky humours.
Apart from “have you not tried having [chronic illness]” I like “you know [chronic illness] means you have issues you need to resolve” least.
Actually, Matt Horam, lobotomy did come up, but in a joking way.
Now they’re dissing on my choice to put pineapple on my pizza. Like, seriously. Way to kick a girl when she’s down!
Harald Wagener Oh, god. That one’s awesome. Gives me some unresolved anger issues is what that does.
Have you considered more pineapple on your pizza?
Also, why they don’t put pineapple on those cinnamon and sugar dessert pizzas is beyond me.
A friend’s wife’s cousin’s daughter’s uncle gets migraine from pineapple on pizza.
Let me know when you decide to have a Migraine Party and apply all the cures at once, I’ll be there.
(except the pineapple, no no no, but my kids will happily eat that)
Yeah, pineapple is a potential food trigger. Basically, everything in pizza is a trigger.
Salty foods, processed foods, great things you can’t control like barometric pressure… I mean, my cure is generally magnesium+b complex vitamins, but that only works for me, specifically.
(“[…] A: Credit card; B: Cash; C: Sneak out in the middle of the night.”
“We’ll take C.”
“Very popular choice.”)
Stephanie Bryant my favorite pizza in the world since I was a kid includes pineapple on it. So I’ll join you in the pineapple on pizza club.
We came up with a few surefire ways earlier than involve removing the brain in question, but if they don’t have to work, why not have fun?

Stop brushing your teeth
Only wear grey!
Maybe you’re just dehydrated. Drink a glass of water.
By the power vested in me by my Italianiness, I grant you (but only you) permission to eat pizza with pineapples.
Oh, my god. Someone just posted asking if I’ve tried coffee.
My migraines are caused by me repeatedly slamming my head into my desk.
oh honey. 🙁 i’m sorry!!!
