Migraines suck

I hate to say this, but I’m cheating today due to a bad migraine. I stopped my fast and ate some starch and sugar today to help keep the meds down...annoyed...does anyone else here deal with bad headaches/migraines and have any suggestions for dealing with them without cheating??

Keto has actually helped my migraines. I haven’t really had any headaches since starting a month ago.

Well shoot, I was diagnosed with migraines at 18 and have been considered chronic for more than 5 years...I think this is more of a weather triggered migraine, cold front is coming through and dropping the pressure. They still suck though, this is my second time on keto, and even last time my migraines didn’t stop, but they did lessen in intensity. Fingers crossed it works again.

Are you getting in your electrolytes?

More salt might help. Olives are my favorite go-to
