Kathryn... I eat my microwave muffin made with ground flax seed to keep me regular. I really love the results as I have always had issues with regularity and sever cramping. I eat one every other day and am a happy girl.
Harriet... I have discovered a site for people who suffer with cluster headaches. Wow I love it because many of the stories are so like mine and I feel like I am at home. Discussions are not only about the migraines themselves but how having them effects the people around them. That is the part that is difficult to discuss with non-CH (cluster headaches) for a variety of reasons.
But I wanted to share something with you that I have been reading about that you might find interesting. There seems to be a connection between vitiman D3 and those who suffer from clusters.... In several of my websites people who get clusters tend to refer to them as The Beast... Anyway in several scientific studies many CH are getting relief by in increasing their daily intake to 10,000iu of D3. Also recommended is omega 3, cal him citrate and magnesium citrate. It is also suggested to take Vit K2, Vit A, zinc and Boron.
For a while it has been suggested that people with clusters are also lacking in magnesium. I'be been taking the combo of calcium and magnesium for a while, however did not know about the need for a higher dosage of Vit D3. From what I e read you can naturally absorb D3 in strong sun light for 20 minutes a day.... But the catch is you can't use sunscreen because that defeats the purpose of absorbing the D3.
So I figure it can't hurt to try this recommendation. My cluster cycles are usually in the spring and fall so this should give me time to get my body ready. We shall see.
And yes I use bob mills ground golden flaxseed for my minute muffin. I also drizzle just a tad of honey on mine which I just really read today is a natural source of Vit K2 so that makes it a win/win for me.
