Did someone recently mention that you can often have a reaction up to 72 hours after eating something?
I made brownies on Friday night. I have eaten a few each day since then and a tiny piece today. I was amazed that I had no adverse effects or start of a migraine until this afternoon. My neck and shoulders started tensing up after driving on the highway. I notice this happens a lot while driving on the highway. This evening, I put heat on my neck and it seems better but I took a Relpax anyway so I can sleep on it (otherwise I would be dopey tomorrow if I took it during the day). So as is typical - I can't tell if I feel this way from brownies or driving or because it was time for a migraine (7 days). Posted on 11/03/09, 02:11 am |

You raise a lot of interesting questions! I struggle with that constantly--was it something today, something yesterday, the day before? My migraines last for days and days and merge into each other. I recognize a new one because I walk into a room and the smell of something boring and average sears my brain and nauseates me.
So, where was I? I'm finally "cleansing" my life to a point where I can tell what on earth is setting me off. I went on a cleanse for 21 days (torture!). I had an immediate reaction for the first time today. I've gone off and on chocolate and today is the first time where I felt like I KNEW it was the chocolate bar that set off this pain spiral. I've never been so happy to have an allergic reaction! :) I wish you wisdom and knowledge!!

Cleanse - what was/is that like?
I am definitely wondering if I get a very delayed reaction to caffeine.
