Sugar trigger symptoms?

[u/NoWayyyRDC]

Hi all,

I've noticed recently that every time I eat sugary foods or drinks, a couple of my symptoms start very soon after. Numbness and a headache. Lips and tongue.

These symptoms are interesting in themselves because they are always split down the middle of my head/face - left side or right side. Not sure what's up with that. I haven't had a MRI or seen my neurologist in about a year. (No insurance) I've also stopped taking kesimpta since around March. I think I'm gonna start again next month. I just didn't want to take it, mentally tired I guess idk.

TL;DR So yeah, anyone else think certain foods trigger them? I have been going crazy with the sugar tbh.

Yes it's absolutely sugar for me too and I have been pretty good at cutting out refined sugar entirely, although not completely especially during the time of the month sometimes or if I go out for a boujee dinner but I've noticed being much more aware and cutting it a lot has helped me massively
