Migraines and Me
I was eleven when I got my first migraine.
This is my story about migraines and me.
CHAPTER 10
Last month I told you about my unfortunate
migraine in January, well in February I actually
had two migraines! I had one that wasn’t too
bad, as I have had so many now I can deal
with them a lot better than I used to. Then the
following day I had another! When you get
one it’s as if something drops to the bottom
of your stomach and you feel gutted as it’s
such a disruption to your day, just a real pain
really!

gluten-free food? I can’t believe how many
people said they didn’t eat gluten because
they thought it would make them fat. The
only reason to give up gluten is if you are
intolerant or allergic. I’m intolerant to gluten,
my Nutritionist found that out for me, and
since I’ve given it up my migraines have been
so much better!
Does anyone remember the show
‘You Are What You Eat’ that Gillian
McKeith presented? We used to
watch it at home all the time! If
you watched ‘I’m a Celebrity Get
Me Out of Here’ a few years ago
you will know that Gillian McKeith
is not the best example of a
If you have any stories please share them with me, I love to hear about everyone’s
unique ways to get through the pain.
