I’m 3.5 months into Keto, and seemed to be long done with Keto flu after the first week.
I just had (what we think was) an atypical migraine, and had another about a fortnight ago. Symptoms roughly: sensory aura, numbness, sudden feeling like head is reeling and out of it but no cause, cognitive slowness and slight confusion. And then a few hours later a hell of a headache behind the eye, and light aversion.
I’m used to getting ‘typical’ migraines so this more diffuse version really threw me.
Looking into other causes too, but wondered if one possibility is …hormones evening out due to Keto? Any experience of this?
I read through other migraine posts on here, and some suggest low magnesium. I think I can rule out low magnesium because we happened to have (butter fried )spinach with pumpkin seeds with dinner and a couple of squares of 90% dark choc afterwards. And now take a multivitamin w magnesium too.
Plus I saw several posts talking about the actual benefits of Keto to reduce migraine!
If any others had experience the onset of new migraines w Keto, it’d be handy to hear about it. And how quickly they passed
Thanks so much! (From underneath the covers with the screen brightness turned to 1%, waiting for the migraine tablets to kick in )
