I think in the world of the migraine brain triggers are so confusing. At least in my experience what can trigger them at one time does not trigger them another. I feel that if you at a time that you are truly prone to them then it does not take much to tip you over the edge to a headache. I used to think Orange juice was a trigger for me. Citrus is a known trigger in some people. Once I drank a glass of orange juice and right away a headache started. Maybe it is one of those just sometimes triggers I am not sure. I stayed off of citrus for years and brought it back into my diet and it doesn't seem to be a trigger, though I am a little afraid I dont drink orange juice much even though I love it. For me 2 very known triggers are MSG and Sodium nitrates in processed meat. I stay away from these at all costs. Another sometimes trigger when I am sensitive is certain LCD lights and fluorescent lights. For me if I am sensitive shopping will for sure trigger one. Last week while still in my what felt like non stop 4 week migraine going to the mall or walmart was a killer. Now today I shopped all day the lights did not bother me at all. This is what I mean about a sometimes trigger. When I am sensitive many things can set them off, when I am not it takes more maybe even a combination of triggers. This is what makes it all so confusing
