Later on I started hearing from many sources to try it for migraines.
Realized my migraines had been ebbing and worsening a lot. Got serous about taking it. About A 50% reduction In severity. Had multi hour ones 7 days a week. Can’t walk kind.
Dentist suggested a mouth guard for TMJ. I looked up videos on it. Found a massage one, found a bad trigger point. 3 days later it eased up. Poof migraines almost completely gone.
I tried basically everything.
Elimination diet to find troublesome foods, etc. Prism glasses, etc
Too much for here
I wish people were allowed to just experiment with different solutions. Sign a paper saying that you take full responsibility and they're not obligated to treat you and that's it.
Some people live in areas that good doctors left a long time ago.
I mean, there are cases of cancers that resolve on their own.
That’s why we don’t make medical decisions based off anecdotes.
Yes it could just disappear, but for some migraines are a chronic issue and the meds for it are preventative and not a cure.
I'm not sure if you've dealt with chronic illnesses but I can tell you from experience that a lot of us regularly attempt to come off our meds to see if anything has changed 'underneath' the drugs, as often the drugs have other side effects that make it hard to tell what's really going on.
It's highly likely then that the OP has indeed tested to see whether their migraines have just gone.
It's also odd when people defiantly state that we don't make medical decisions based on anecdotes when clearly all medical decisions were once anecdotes that were then tested for efficacy and became best practice.
The most clear recent example of medicine catching up with annecdoatal evodence for me is severe epileptic using diet manipulation to manage their condition when prescription medicine did little to nothing as a preventative.
I'm arguing against the experience of anyone person being applicable to anyone other than that one person. That why we have the FDA and randomized controlled trials. There are so many confounding factors that unless you test a treatment under very strict conditions, there is a very good chance you observed is completely unrelated to the treatment. Hell, drug manufacturers run trials and fall into that trap all the time.
10 minutes and I have a full blown migraine. (Lights)
If I’ve been solid with magnesium that time goes to an hour or two.
FL-41 lenses will add an hour to time as well.
Many other triggers, but light is the most consistent for me.
My routine these days? Magnesium, Vit D, and massaging TMJ joint.
Diet helps a lot too.
Cure cancer, no. Help various issues, often.
