ajax_andy 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Just remembered I ate a big piece of Chocolate cake last night after the sauna... I dont usually eat chocolate and it gave me a migraine once in the past. I reckon it could be a mixture of dehydration and something in chocolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 My sis got them from time to time and they did seem to think (without being able to pinpoint it) that it might've been something she ate or drank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I used to get migraines from eating crumpets when I was a kidda. Didn't think anything of it at the time, but i've never had a migraine since. *touches wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No as I only get them really rarely like maybe once or twice a year max. The time before this was after playing footy so hadn't even eaten anything really then.

Tom 13804 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Right - I had what I thought was my normal migraine at work yesterday, although quite severe. My vision went pure disco lights & I couldn't coordinate and couldn't get words out but also running parallel to it was an anxiety which I've never had before and hasn't gone away and it's nearly a day. Once the disco lights went out I got the shits really bad and started sweating like fuck. Obviously there's a splitting headache to enjoy in between this. I had to leave my car at work and by chance someone could pick me up. Do work have a duty of care if it goes tits up or am I left to fend for myself?

Severe migraines, gout, the shits. For a young man you are falling to bits. Get yourself sorted with a triptan for your migraines if you haven't already.

Tom 13804 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 By duty of care I mean - what happens if I just spazz out owing to a migraine do they put me into a taxi or just kick me onto the streets? I couldn't even speak for a while. I've had a severe migraines since I was about 14. The gout was borne out of being born wit a single kidney and they didn't discover it till late. I'll have a look a triptan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The work question, I don't know, surely it would be just common decency for your colleagues to help you? I mean if this was @wykikitoon we were talking about I could see your concern ( ), but you seem canny enough to have mates? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19714 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Fucking hell Tom, sounds scary. I had a similar experience once. I was getting what the doctor described as auras. Freaky as fuck. Thought I was having an acid trip flashback at work, of all places, before concluding I almost certainly had a brain tumour. Turns out my symptoms, which were similar to a migraine, were caused by low blood sugar - I was experimenting with intermittent fasting at the time. Never again.

Tom 13804 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 It's rank like - that's what kicks off my migraines. For a second it looks like there's a bit of a word missing and then suddenly there's a bit of everything missing and the lights are dancing and your hands are swollen up.

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 No nothing about migraines however just took a man upto the Spire hospital in Washington who says he used to suffer severe migraines 3 x a week. Got reccomended to see a chiropractor and now has one attack every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe see a real doctor with real treatments........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26107 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'm pretty sure that if an employer suspects an employee of being under the influence on alchohol then they have a duty to make sure they don't drive and to provide an alternative way home. It should be the same principle with the migraines you're having. @strawb would probably be the man to answer this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a quick google however, the National migraine charity does say this. How can chiropractic help manage my migraine? Chiropractic care can help decrease the frequency and duration of migraine headaches, particularly in those who have a cervicogenic/mechanical component to their migraines. Often migraines are multifactorial, which means that they can be triggered by a number of different factors, therefore chiropractic care may be beneficial in the co-management of migraine. I agree however a proper doc should always be first port of call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
