Hi Wendy:

As a fellow migraine sufferer, I understand your concern. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water.

I have seen some reports that indicate a low-carb diet will help with migraine but it does not seem to be conclusive. Since starting Atkins about 8 weeks ago, I have had only one moderate migraine and only a handful of tension headaches. I have kept a headache diary for over five years and I usually average 4 severe migraines and 8 moderate migraines per month, so it's been great. I'm not ready to attribute the lack of migraines to Atkins yet because I have had rare periods of 2-3 months without migraine in the past, but I am hopeful.

I hope you'll visit my journal and keep me posted on your headaches. Good luck!
