Something is missing in my life....

migraines...practically weekly....

Holy moly...I was at a friend's yesterday and someone mentioned they had a sinus headache. My thoughts started racing in my head: 'oo, glad it's not me.....wait a minute, when was the last time I had a sinus headache? Hey, when is the last time I had a migraine...OMG, I can't remember?????!!!!!!

Guys this is huge (cue Donald Trump) I mean HUGE!!! I've had migraines several times a month since I was a teenager and I am now mid 50's. It took me ages to figure out my triggers: dry heat and overcast/rainy days. We had a lot of rain in So Cal this winter and I believe I thought I was getting a migraine once, and admit to taking something for it, but that was only once in months and months and months.

I am at my highest raw, since about November, with some days a week 100%. I can only imagine what is going to happen to me once I am 100% all the time!!!

This revelation has me totally stunned. If you have ever had a migraine or suffer them regularly, then you know how HUGE this is. Oh my....I am stoked!

AWESOME!! Congrats to you!

I've been getting migraines every month during my period for years--I would throw up they'd be so bad :(

But now...they've gone missing! Don't care to find them! ;)

How cool is that? Congrats!

I think revvellations are always good. :)

I know what you mean...I've had migraine issues for all of my adult life...they lessened when I cut out gluten and dairy, but since going raw I only get them occasionally around that time of the month.

That is AWESOME!!!!!

I suffered from weekly migraines from the time I was 12 yrs. old until I went raw in January of this year. Since I went raw I haven't had a SINGLE one. I'm so glad you're experiencing relief from yours. They are torture.

I love it. That is wonderful!!!

Same i used to only get migraines from refined sugar or wheat and i never get that headachey sick feeling in the morning anymore if i eat raw. I instantly get headaches from cooked fat or salt and I won't do that to myself again. :) Isn't it great how easy life is when you're head doesn't hurt? What a thought.

I had migraines, coupled with nausea and vomiting, frequently, from about age 12 - 16, when I changed to a vegan diet (although mostly cooked, I still ate a lot of fresh stuff) and they just stopped. They would be so painful I would be lying on the floor, I use to get a blur in one eye, then I would know they were about to happen. I would be in school, and not be able to see the board! I must have sounded dramatic because out of the blue I was just like, I have to go home, now... !!

Thank vegan there gone!!

I'm so glad yours are gone too! it's so amazing! congratus!!

Congratulations rawlight!!

Mine too, plus a whole lot of other things, like dry eyes, weak nails, bumps on my scalp, sore back, aching feet and legs when I got home from work, that dopey feeling. None of these things have bothered me since just before Christmas when I started and it's been far too long and too many different things to chalk it up to coincidence. Now if it would only make my hot flashes go away I would truly be in Heaven!

It's so funny to have this kind of a BIG chronic thing go away and not even realize it. That's what gets me. Alllllll those decades of pain and I didn't even realize I had actually stopped carrying around medication for it. In the past, you would have never caught me with out those pills.
