what causes migraines and how come we haven’t developed a cure for them yet?
In: 90
My wife used to have massive migraines almost daily. She says it’s genetic because her mom also gets very bad migraines very often.
My theory isn’t scientifically proven or backed up by any studies, but the time she had the worse migraine was when she was a restaurant manager. She puts a lot of pressure on herself to perform because she was being sponsored with a visa to stay and eventually get permanent residency in that country so she was always stressed out and come home crying. When she broke down and decided to resign, her migraine kind of lessened.
With me coming from a family that eats healthy due to my mom retaining her gestational diabetes, when we got married, I started changing her eating habits by cutting down her sugar, salt, fat, and dairy intake. We still treat ourselves, but it wasn’t as bad as my wife used to only eat ice-cream for dinner and thick ramen soup for lunch because she was too tired and stressed to cook herself meals after coming home from work. Now she gets maybe bad migraine 2~4 times a year? vs. almost daily before… But like I said, my theory is not backed up by any proof or studies, but I like to think it somehow helped by changing her diet and work life balance and now she can live a happier life pain free for most of it.
