Thank you all for sharing! I wanted to share what has really helped me in case it helps anyone else. Before I had been following a rough migraine diet avoiding msg, aspartame, nitrates, and the like, (along with avoiding eggs, milk, gluten and nuts, because I am very allergic to those), but...
Hello, Everyone!
I don't want to make anyone feel bad if they can't do this. It just has helped me so much that I wanted to share my experience in case it might help someone else. I increased my exercise to try to suppress my disease with a high level of fitness and changed my diet, and it has...

Hi! I see it's been a while since your post. Sorry to respond so late, but I wanted to reach out to you and tell you that you have my sympathy. So sorry others are not responding compassionately to your severe illness. I wanted to tell you that endometriosis was one of the earliest diagnoses I...
