The answer is "coke and fries" by the way. Often a migraine is triggered by hunger and your blood glucose dropping. The sugars and carbs in the soda and fries, the caffeine from cola, and the electrolytes in the fry salt all with together to stave off a migraine.
You could also just drink Gatorade and take Excedrin or any other combination of glucose, electrolyte, caffeine, water
Yeah but then you're not the NYP helping out the lying, failing McDonald's with "news" ads.
So you're saying the cure to migraines is drinking a prime and downing a couple feastables bars?
low key, maybe mix some acetaminophen powder in the prime tho
There also seems to be a few migraine-reducing interactions for other ingredients like glutamate and unsaturated fats which are not well understood. Food cravings during the prodrome phase of a migraine may be related to this(!)
Specific ketogenic diets (low carb, high polyunsaturated fat diets) are known to have have a high degree of success in reducing seizures. The same also is true for migraines.
The pathophysiological relationship between migraines and seizures isn't particularly well understood either, so unfortunately I don't have any cool facts to share about how any of this actually works.
For me it's triggered by low salt, I've done extensive testing. Best option is to take a pain pill and chug a sugarless Gatorade. I've read most migraines are caused by similar deficiencies.
The coke is unlikely to help imo it's the fries doing the heavy lifting. In fact sugar or caffeine tends to make mine worse.
Low magnesium for me. The low magnesium is caused by low vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency interferes with the body's ability to use magnesium.
if you can't go very long without eating before getting a headache you probably have diabetes or are at least pre diabetic
