My Daily Struggle

So over the past few days I have been M.I.A from both my blog and my new Beauty Instagram account, samanthdavisbeauty...

Since I can remember, I have struggled with migraines. If you've ever had a migraine you know exactly the kind of pain I am referring to. When I get a migraine, I am completely out of commission and in unbearable pain. Today, was one of those days. I woke up at 8:30am from a pounding in my head. I couldn't even see to get to the bathroom. After getting sick all morning, I was bed stricken from 10:00am til 8:30pm. I am just now starting to feel some relief. I have taken medicines all my life, gone to doctors...specialist. I've been on more medications than I can count.  Nothing ever, ever works.

I have taken it upon myself to do a little more research online. I found today that many foods contain a natural compound called Tyramine. So with a little help from my mom, we have come to the conclusion that I will go on a low tyramine diet to experiment with how it affects my migraines. What led us to the idea that Tyramine might be the cause of my horrible migraines was the fact that I, for lack of a better word, LOVE cheese. I eat cheese on everything; eggs, noodles, by itself, on crackers, bread... you get my drift. And guess what one of the WORST foods for people who cannot tolerate high levels of Tyramine is??? You guessed it, Cheese.

So, it all starts tomorrow. The fun of depriving myself of my all time favorite food. IF this works, it will be so worth it. There are few things that I can think of that are worst than a migraine. Let me know below if you had any experiences with migraines and what works for you. I could definitely use some help.

I am so sorry from being away for a little while but with prayer and this lifestyle change I should have a fabulous "apartment tour" blogpost coming at you sometime this weekend or early next week. Give me a little slack, my birthday is Sunday. :) Anyways, I hope all of you are in good health and enjoying this beautiful season and Ill talk to you soon!
