I’ve tried all sorts of Omega oils – 3, 6, 9 – and they don’t seem to help very much with the pain during migraine attacks, but these oils obviously work for many people. ALA (alpha lipoic acid) does help reduce the pain of the atypical trigeminal neuralgia, but nothing has helped reduce the migraine pain so far.
It seems so individual with migraine disorder, both with what triggers the attacks and with what relieves the pain. During an attack, I crave dark chocolate, and it actually helps reduce the level of pain, but many in the migraine community have told me that dark chocolate triggers attacks for them.
I can’t imagine living without dark chocolate…
