Hi Shellyanne, sorry the migraines returned. When I have food related migraines, I'm in bed for at least 3 days, feel nauseous, then it takes a few more days for the brain fog to lift. I can't eat eggs, milk, chocolate, soy and a few others. Unlike other migraines, food migraines for me are the worst.

Yes, I notice that I can smell things that aren't there, like cigarettes or toast. I have to drink a lot of water when I have a migraine, and I use a heating pad a lot. Light is also an irritant.
