    40 y/o here! I had my first migraine ever about 2 months ago, and boy did it suck. What’s more, they decided to start happening semi-regularly because… who the fuck knows.

    Not my personality, though. I reserve that for my weird niche hobbies that nobody wants to hear about. Anyway, about my retail training video VHS collection…

      You’re lucky as fuck. I had them all my life and I’m in my mid-thirties now.

      Just a consideration to add to the others, but you may want to consider some neck stretching and exercises. Tension in the first two or three cervical vertebrae can cause migraines.

      Added bonuses include that this option is free, it takes up very little time, it can be done almost anywhere, plus it’ll help you hold up that big ole brain a lot better in the future!

        Yeah!! B2 is one of the supplements I’m taking to see if they reduce their intensity/frequency.

        I went to a neurologist recently because I didn’t know that these things I’ve been getting were migraines in the first place. Turns out I get Vestibular Migraines.

          I used to get these when I had methylation problems, MCAS was producing too much histamine which clogged up my methylation

          A combination of mast cell inhibitors, diet changes, methylation supplements and trying to address the root cause fixed it for me. No longer need mast cell inhibitors or too many supplements
