I think I have a migraine coming on. I just dropped dry cat food everywhere, am having more problems with auditory processing, my right arm feels weird, yesterday left a potted plant on the porch to freeze to death even though I covered a plot in the backyard (& I'm sure I've done other dumb things w/o realizing them).

Any non-Rx things I can take/do to try to stop it?

Thanks! I was lucky - no migraine. I drank Zevia cola & took extra Mg & CoQ10. Can't know if I wouldn't have gotten one anyway, tho.

I came across something interesting on carbonated beverages & ghrelin. Ghrelin was found to reduce pain in a migraine model (1). Drinking carbonated beverages increases ghrelin levels after a meal (2). So my preference for soda rather than tea as a caffeine source during migraine might have something to do with this (as opposed just to being cold, which is also helpful).

Andrew Huberman released a podcast just a few days ago on headache & ways to treat it, including migraine, cluster & tension. It is quite long so I have not listened to all of it yet (curious to find out if he mentions ghrelin).
