My experience-5 months migraine-free after starting magnesium supplements & multivitamin! (Success story)
Note: This is not intended as medical advice! This is a personal anecdote of my own success story. For completeness I have included a list of what I'm taking, but obviously consult your doctor before taking anything, even supplements.
-----
28F, I had been experiencing ocular migraines as well as ongoing headaches, for several years. On beta blockers, still experienced 5-10 migraine-affected days per month.
When they first started, I had them for 6 weeks, and then nothing for a whole year. I didn't figure out what made them go away, but I was glad. Then they came back, and that was it for several years. I thought, this is my life, forever.
Every now and then I remember that I should take a multivitamin (the iron helps with losing blood due to periods), and around Christmas I started taking them again after not taking them for a long while. When I do remember to take them, I take several different ones: a multivit with iron, a separate B12 tablet, and a magnesium/calcium/vitamin D combined supplement.
I noticed my fatigue was entirely gone just days after I started taking them. And a few weeks later, I thought, "huh, been a while since my last migraine!" - normally as soon as I think that, it means another one is due soon. But I kept waiting, and waiting.
It is now May and I have not had a single migraine! Not one! My last migraine was December 24th and I started taking supplements the same week. I believe it's the magnesium supplement that did it, because I've heard that can help. But I had no idea it could completely make them go away! If I'd known there was a chance (even like a 2% chance) that taking those could completely cure my migraines, I would've done it way sooner. My theory is that when they "went away" before, was probably one of the periods when I started taking supplements too, and I just didn't put two and two together.
I'm intending to discuss with my doctor about stopping the beta blockers soon as they never reduced the migraines much anyway and it would be nice not to be on medications.
I really hope this was not just a coincidence, and that in fact I now know what caused them/how to prevent them in future!
