It annoys me like hell that I can't eat most things I love, because of this stupid migraine. Migraines tend to be very depressive and when people are depressed, they like to eat good food, and by good food I mean of course, chocolates, pizzas and ice creams. But I can't have any of those because they all trigger my headaches, some of them more badly than others. Just to give you an idea of all the great stuff I have to miss out on, here is a short list:
- Chocolates
- Most dairy products including cheese, curd, yogurt and sometimes even milk
- Pizzas(because of the cheese content)
- Ice Cream
- All kinds of nuts including cashews, almonds, peanuts
- Anything with nuts
- Fizzy drinks
- Oranges, including orange juice
- Lemon juice
- Chinese food, especially noodles(because of MSG)
- Maggi Noodles
- Kurkure
- Tomatoes, including tomato ketchup
Plus I get headaches from eating spicy food. There are many more things which give me headaches, but I can't remember them right now. There are other foods which don't exactly give me headaches but I still can't eat them because I'm on anticoagulation therapy. These are foods rich in vitamin K, such as cabbage, cauliflower, spinach, green salads, and others. Also, I recently learned that I can't eat too many mangoes because mangoes potentiate or enhance the effect of anticoagulants. All this makes me wonder what I can actually eat. It's just frustrating.
