I tried Magnesium—didn’t do anything for me. The only thing that has noticeably made any difference in severity and duration is calorie restriction used on this app. Maybe TMI, but it has also made my periods lighter. My headaches are hormone related, not sure what that correlation would be.

Yep! I didn’t do well with imitrex or another hybrid that was supposed to have less side effects. It made me tired as if I had iron deficiency. Could barely lift my arms without feeling exhausted. My brain haze still remained.

Yeah, I’m with all of you. I was just reaching for any hope. I’m usually out of commission for four days with pain and nausea.

Getting back into shape and losing weight so I can keep up with my newborn for many more years to come. I’m 43. I’ve had more energy since I started this (five days so far).

Yes!!!!! And when I don’t do it for a while I find myself getting shorter temper and overall more stressed. It’s a great way to balance your brain chemicals.
