I hope the migraines have lessened! I have since learned more specifically why certain foods can act as triggers. It is often because they are "vasoactive," containing chemicals that affect dialation of the blood vessels. That may include phenylalanine (in aspartame, an artifical sweetner), theobromine (in chocolate), tyramine (in red wine), nitrates (in cured meats, like salami), etc.

I had Pisces the Future once upon a time! In theory I love nail polish, but I'm so reckless with my hands it starts chipping in 24 hr. Shellacs or bust.

You know, my aunt suggested using a gen top coat over regular polish to give it more support and ngl I'm tempted to try it because my nails chip within like five minutes of drying.
i now officially have a degree in web development :)

Trying to heal/prevent migraines: Stay well hydrated. But nix sugar and caffine as much as possible (e.g.: sodas, coffee, energy drinks, etc.). Wheat and oranges are common triggers for some. Helpful supplements are magnesium and riboflavin (B2), and possibly Coenzyme Q10. Check with your doctor for specifics, especially if on medications.

While I don't know your situation, I felt like I should share this. Migraines are terrible and I genuinely hope that you find some relief. Personally, I've noticed that "cookies and cream" flavored anything tends to give me really bad migranes, with auras occuring within 30 minutes to an hour of ingestion. Loud noises tend to agitate it as well. Take care ๐

A dear friend of mine has different triggers from mine: blueberries and bright lights. The frequency of her migraines lessened significantly when she stopped drinking energy drinks and adopted a slightly healthier diet (which included drinking more water).

Sorry, I was going to add some research about the vitamins too, but got hit by the comment cap. Magnesium: https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/magnesium/ * https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8912646/ Riboflavin: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8401857/ General: https://migrainetrust.org/live-with-migraine/healthcare/treatments/supplements/ I hope that helps!

It is possible to trigger migraines through "medication overuse," particularly of analgesics (e.g.: asprin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc.). That means regular use for up to 3 months. It is somewhat ironic, as one might be tempted to use them to relieve the symptoms. Generally, auras are usually caused by "neuronal depolarization," changes in the electral activity of brain cells...
...due to the imbalance of calcium and sodium ions. It is connected to magnesium deficiency. But the thing actually causing the migraine pain is inflammation of brain tissues, which may be lessed by ketones. The body produces ketones through a diet low in simple carbohydrates (refined flour/grains) and high in healthy fats (mono- and polyunsaturated - like olive oil, avocados, fish oil, etc.).
While it seems more rare, there might also be a link between migraine and hormonal issues (like PCOS in women)...I feel like a lot of neurological, hormonal, and digestive functioning converges in interesting ways, but I digress...Many blessings to you on your healing journey! ๐๐๏ธ
