Hello all, first time poster here. My name is Samuel, I'm a 28 year old New Yorker currently traveling through Mexico. I've been getting CHs for at least 5 years that I can remember, and I'm not exactly sure when they presented first but I started treating them soon after, I saw a neurologist for 2 years and was prescribed imitrex and topomax. Treatment was successful after a few months but after 2 years my insurance ran out and I could no longer afford any treatments. As soon as they came back I was pretty desperate, and my then girlfriend suggested I try a gluten free diet, as she is celiac and has read about connections between headaches and gluten intolerance. Amazingly enough after about 2-4 weeks of no gluten (very strict, no traces, etc) the pain went away and has been gone since. That was 2 years ago. I'm now traveling through Mexico, I've been here for 4 months and will stay through the end of the year. I've been healthy and haven't changed much about my lifestyle since I started traveling (Not a big drinker, I'm a cigg and pot smoker) I'm still gluten free and work out regularly. I just started getting headaches again last week, no rhyme or reason. Now I've been getting them almost every morning and then sometimes again later in the afternoon. Because I'm in Mexico and I'm pretty broke, my options are limited. In a frantic moment I went to the farmacia and bought the Mexican generic of imitrex and some naproxen sodium, worked like a charm but don't really know what to do at this point as its not really a long term viable solution. I've read through a ton of information on this forum (quite a lot to take in) and just wanted to know if anybody could help me with some suggestions or things I might be able to do in my present situation here. Would love to be pain free and enjoy my trip and not have to worry all the time I should mention I have access to mushrooms, not sure of the variety etc... Thanks in advance, I'm glad this forum exists.
