All good advice, but so hard to give up caffeine. It's the only thing that gets me out of bed in the down times.
I also get misled, I think, by the fact that sometimes I can do just about anything and not have any bad effects. Other times a flickering overhead light in a store will incapacitate me. If there was a direct cause and effect, it would be easier to make wise choices.
When I get a bit of time to be able to commit to what I'm sure is a lot of homework, I want to try an MD in our area who uses non drug therapy for migraines. She does biofeedback etc. The OTC meds just aren't working well anymore and I'm sure are the cause of some liver enzymes that are coming back elevated. I'm sure she'll insist on caffeine elimination and dietary changes as well. Sigh.
