I had my last migraine attack on June 19th…
One of Annie’s friends sent her an email a while ago saying her husband had found information regarding glycaemic migraines. He thought it might be something I should look into. The friend also told Annie about a product called Berberine that helps with balancing blood sugar levels. Annie started taking it because she was noticing that eating carbs was bothering her. When she started Berberine, she felt better and found it was easier to keep her weight level as well.
Annie thought I might want to try Berberine so I began taking it. I soon found I was experiencing some of the side effects Berberine can cause like regular headaches, upset stomach, etc. I noticed I was not having migraines and I felt different in my head. Could it be that I’ve suffered from insulin resistance all these decades? No doctor ever related my migraines to blood sugar issues even though migraines were thought of as glycaemic migraines as far back as 1935. I once approached our family doctor about sugar and migraines, and he said that could not be the cause.
I can’t tell you what it has been like to have the migraines for over 60 years and then to have them suddenly stop. I’m beginning to feel like a whole other person, and it’s only been just over two months. I still do not have a lot of endurance or energy, but I’m actually feeling like I may be able to be more normal as far as anxiety, and all the other challenges I’ve had, goes. I’ve actually been feeling calmer and clearer in my head. It is so weird. Don’t know where this is all heading – no pun intended. I keep asking God about all of it. No answers yet.
Annie and I are both wondering if it could be true. We keep thinking the headaches could start back up any day now, but they don’t.
Could I really be starting to walk out of all the years of being migraine and CPTSD “Mark?” What would that even be like?
Wow…
Thanking and praising God in all things (Ephesians 5:20),
