i have been getting bad migraines for as long as i can remember. bad enough to vomit when i was a kid. nothing ever helped except when i took a healthy dose of lsd in highschool and they stopped completely for five years or so. i had been getting them around once every two months before that. then they came back in college and slowly got worse until i was having basically one long migraine for up to a week at a time. then i started taking nurtech. it helped a lot but only worked half the time — and when it did work i could still feel my body reeling from it but without pain. here is something curious: i noticed that nurtech would put me into an extremely good mood… almost to the point of being a different person. without any euphoria or intoxication. specifically, i noticed that i was much more open emotionally, much more personable and friendly. more open to letting people in. and thats when i really started to have a new perspective on just how much this disease had robbed from me. i cant even imagine how awesome it would have been to not be interrupted by these migraines, to not have to feel the throbbing pain, and maybe the whole trajectory of my life would have been different if i had been a little kinder and likable which, if im being honest, i was kind of known for not being. i dont really take nurtech anymore because i have found that hard physical work, sunlight, reducing total calories and cardiovascular exercise basically put them into remission. and im afraid of what nurtech might do to me long-term after seeing how profoundly it alters my personality. based on everything i know, i think its safe to say that migraines are a metabolic disorder. neurons become overexcited due to metabolic dysfunction which then causes a depolarization cascade that sweeps across other regions of the brain. thats why keto helps so much. i wonder if ozempic has a beneficial impact on migraine?
