- Hi David - welcome to the Migraine community here on WEGO Health. We're so glad you've joined us! Here is an introduction thread to get you started. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
You have a fabulous story about finding your personal triggers. Such an important topic!! I too suffered for years without knowing about triggers including foods. I mistakenly thought that food triggers only pertained to allergies. Like you, I found some triggers and was able to virtually eliminate them, but others I've not had such good luck with. The good part is knowing what they are, but the frustrating part is not being able to eliminate them as I'd like. Even more frustrating is trying to explain them to friends and family!
How were you able to explain your triggers to friends and family?
David, do you have a blog or another site you like to contribute to online? What is your favorite Migraine community?
I too like Neurology Channel for information! My favorite patient driven site is HealthCentral's MyMigraineConnection with Teri Robert and all her helpful Migraineurs - so wonderful for beginners especially! Teri and a number of her crew are Health Activists that participate here at WEGO Health as well. You can also find a number of them on my second favorite patient driven place for information - Twitter. In fact, there are several doctors who also Tweet their links. Are you on Twitter yet?
If you're interested, WEGO Health has a special topic page filled with links pertaining to Migraine Triggers too.
Thank you for sharing your story. I encourage you to jump right on into the Migraine community with anything you might like to share or ask. Just let me know if there is anything I can do to help, okay?
Have a fantastic weekend!
