I've had a thought lately about actual triggers while in a cycle, and though it never occured to me before, I was wondering if nitrates that are in hot dogs, or corned beef have any effect on anybody. I seriously started eliminating certain foods, after keeping a diary these past few months, and realized that after eating a couple of hot dogs at a barbeque I had a really bad one. Then the next week I had corned beef, and again, I had one.
This last cycle has been really strange and irregular, unlike my earlier ones, when I would get a couple of HA's a day. Then again, after having them only once a year for years, I've had them every season this past year. This last cycle started two months ago, and I've never had a cycle last longer than 5 weeks.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Cheers to all & to all a good nite.
