Dear G.,
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter's headaches!
I've suffered from migraines all my life, and they are unimaginably terrible. There are several intensities of migraines, and they can last any amount of time. I've had short ones that were of high intensity to very long (1 week or more) that were bearable, but miserable none the less.
The only thing that has ever helped me is a diet that my Integrative M.D. put me on for chronic pain. It was hard to cut out some of the foods at first, but within a week or so I was perfectly comfortable with the diet. I've been on it since early February of this year, and I haven't had a single migraine since. Before I started this diet, I had an average of 2 migraines per week!
If you're interested in learning about what foods to avoid and what foods to focus on, please send me a private message and I'll be glad to send you the outline for the diet. I'm also available for support if you decide you want to give this a try and need some ideas for menus. It's a delicious and very healthy diet for the whole family, so this could be something that will make your whole family healthier.
I can also give you information about seeing my doctor for this problem. She's in Columbus, but once you've seen her, you can do a lot of communicating with her over the phone or through e-mail. Seeing her has really changed my life, and I widh I had done it years earlier.
