The optical migraine Thursday night was the first in a long time. Today I had another one. I wish I knew what was triggering them, because I really feel like crap when I get them.
When my son was a kid, he suffered from migraines. At our doctor’s suggestion we monitored his diet. Turned out the culprit was some sweetener, aspartame I think.
I already avoid it like the plague, so it’s probably not that. For the first one, I thought it might be the new toothpaste I got, but I stopped using it and got another migraine anyway!
How long has it been since your latest dental work? Are the migraines always triggered by chemicals, or could it be a change in the way you use your jaw?
My last dental visit was two weeks ago.
I’ve been getting them for about 15 years now. I’ve never been able to pinpoint what triggers them. Thankfully I only get about one a year and as the years go by they seem to be less and less severe.
My physical therapist says it was TMJ. He said my jaw was really inflamed.
