I can't remember if I have mentioned it before or not, but if you haven't looked into it you might want to see if your migraines are caused by food allergies. I don't get migraines anymore now that I know what foods I am allergic to.

And, it just takes a blood test to find out.

hhmm..that's interesting. might be a good idea. digestive distress is always a part of my cluster of symptoms, and i keep changing my mind about whether it's a cause or affect.

how do you recommend i go about finding someone who will administer the test in the boston area? and does insurance pay for it?

I would start with your PCP. Some of them are better at thinking outside of the box than others. Some PCP's really don't like to think outside the box in which case it can get more challenging to get the blood test done. When talking to your PCP you could focus more on the indigestion you get and that you haven't been able to figure out what you are allergic to and would like the blood test (IgE blood test). Feel free to tell your PCP about me and how finding out my food allergies made me feel so much better. No more migraines, no more indigestion.

As for insurance, if your PCP recommends the blood test then most insurance will cover it.
