We went out to dinner last night at Applebee's. I asked if they had an allergen menu they do but of course nothing for MSG no such luck. I can normally find something that can guess maybe just maybe I hope will be a good guess for me that might not have nitrates or MSG going out to dinner is something that I used to enjoy now its a nightmare. Applebees menu seemed to have the least amount of choices to me for what I may be able to eat. I choose a lemon cream pasta well first off was not creamy second I wanted a different one but was afraid of the blackened shrimp with the seasonings well this one was very seasoned spicy and this tells me it could have had MSG ugh. My husband just does not get this and I have been on a terrible streak of migraines and have just been getting better and do not want to do anything else to aggravate the situation when trying to explain this I actually got an eye roll. NO ONE gets this when I am eating something that has the potential to cause me pain its like torture. When I have no idea what is actually in a food its torture. So then today I went snow tubing with my son and his friends had a blast laughed so hard here is the thing though. Laughing for me causes migraines so does something out of my element. like being out in the bright snow. So driving home I had a migraine coming on a bad one and didnt have a Maxalt I did not the best driving moves nothing dangerous but enough that my son was making fun of me. My judgement gets all frigged up. Here is the thing I dont want to drive places I want to be the passenger but it never happens. I am sick of all this I want to call Uncle. So having too much fun being in too much bright light is an assault on my nervous system and causes a migraine I am learning that Migraine basically a sensitivity of the nervous system and some people that suffer like I do have super sensitive nervous systems and everything sets them off. No one has any idea how much they affect me and how often and i fake it allot and quite frankly am sick of it. Am sick of people of trying to find a reason why too I dont know why and have been trying for over 30 years. I just some days want to curl under a blanket and give up.
