This summer was full of fun things, the county fair, boat rides and state parks!
Migraine wise it has had its up and downs. I had a brief respite right around when I found out that I was pregnant! We are very excited about the upcoming addition to our family! However managing my migraines has proven more difficult with this pregnancy than with my first. After my brief respite which got me really excited I fell off the tyramine free diet bandwagon big time! I had feta which resulted in a whole day in bed. I also tried mac and cheese in a box (ahem). Lets just say I am back on the migraine/tyramine free wagon shall we?!
So my migraine coping strategies currently are while pregnant (old prepregnancy list- supplements - meds)
propranolol- took in 1st pregnancy too
magnesium
magnesium infusions
butterbar (pentadolex brand)
TENS unit
Headache tea without feverfew
Tylenol with codeine - not great I know but the best you can do
I actually tried to skip a infusion (I was trying to get away with as little as possible during pregnancy) and it was a huge fail. Who knew that low magnesium levels make morning sickness worse? MUCH WORSE! Needless to say I won't be skipping any more!
Etsy started to crackdown on listings with medical claims of any kind. I had to remove my listings. If you would like tea or more tea let me know via comments and I can make a custom listing for you.
Let me know what you think the butterbur helps. I too have started a blog. It's mainly a recipe blog trying to avoid any possible triggers. I would love your insight. It's so easy to miss something. I have only read a couple of your posts, but am going to get back to reading. I would like to have children sometime in a year or so (if the fates are willing). It is important to know how that effects what you can do in the world of migraines.
