One thing I forgot to mention, my nutritionist and I stumbled on this completely by accident. What I refer to as the "migraine funk" is the feeling after the major pain is gone, there's that slight hint that my head and eyes are still not right and I have some residual queasiness, and it can last for the rest of the day. Mashed potatoes gets rid of it. As soon as I can tolerate light again, I will eat mashed potatoes and it really helps. I'm sure it has something to do with how potatoes affect insulin levels, but even people I know who's migraines are not blood sugar related find relief from mashed potatoes. It doesn't matter if they're real or instant. I've gotten relief from both.

Only mashed? Not like baked or boiled? Just MAshed? lol

Its nice there are so many other guys who have real migraines! Helps put perspective on my own.
