This morning, I woke up with some crazy eye pain, headache and nausea and I had no clue what caused it. This is my 2nd time having these symptoms. The first one was sometime last year when I had to call in sick. I usually don't have headaches. Just this one is too strong for me to do any normal works: the only thing I can do is just to lie down and do nothing.
Once I got better around 11 PM, I did some web search and now I think it might be related to the high intake of MSG. According to this site, my symptoms are MSG side effects, and guess what? I went to a Chinese restaurant last night and ate a lot! Too bad, I don't remember what I ate last time I had this problem. If I remembered, I would be more certain. :)
Oh well, MSG can be unhealthy anyways, so I guess it's time to cut, or reduce, MSG out of my diet?
Sounds like a vanilla migraine to me. They can happen at any point in your life (I had none until I was 18, then monthly until I was 20, and then maybe 1 a year ever since).
ReplyDeleteThe MSG might have been a trigger ... it seems like everyone's different in terms of what sets them off. I haven't found any pattern to mine.
was trying to google what Vanilla Migraine is... but I cannot seem to find any webpage describing this? Is there any other name for this?
