I'm back after almost a year of no "dance with the demon" and now the SOB is hitting me almost nightly  So I'm now sitting here rocking in my desk chair at 12:17am dealing with the shadow, wondering if the sudden change in my diet my have something to do with "Him" comming back.
After some recent blood work I have been diag. as being pre-diabetic, so the doc has taken away my sugar and carbs. Related or not I have no idea, and would like to know if anyone else has had this happen to them?
...Oh yea to make things even better I also now have sleep apena, with the second part of my sleep study coming up soon...I would love to see my brain wave charts while "dancing" in the lab.

Look at the dates of the only two abstracts I found this morning: surely suggests how little interest and, perhaps, judgment about need for research on the topic.
======================
Ear Nose Throat J. 1994 Apr;73(4):228-30, 235-6.
Neurogenic vascular headaches, food and chemical triggers.
Trotsky MB.
University of Nebraska College of Medicine, Lincoln.
Recent evidence has demonstrated that neurogenic vascular headaches are a combination of neurological primary events and secondary vasomotor changes. The neurological events involve the hypothalamus and sensory cortex with sympathetic hypofunction and noradrenergic abnormalities. A platelet theory has been proposed but has not really been confirmed as a legitimate cause of the neurogenic vascular headaches. Food and chemicals in foods can act as a precipitating factor in the food-sensitive neurogenic vascular headache patient. In these patients evidence is now being demonstrated to confirm this, but larger patient studies are needed. The food-sensitive migraine patient and cluster headache patient must give a good history and food diary to go along with active challenges and provocative testing in order to determine the causative foods. Any concomitant allergies of inhalants or environmentals must also be treated. The treatment modalities of elimination and rotation diets or provocation neutralization may successfully control the headaches without the need for continuous medications.

Foods, and food and drug combinations, responsible for head and neck pain.
Seltzer S.
The literature has been reviewed to uncover the existence of head and neck pain syndromes caused by foods and food and drug combinations. Knowledge of the etiology of such syndromes may help in their treatment. At least twenty-five syndromes have been described. These include those induced by coloring and flavoring agents, alcoholic products, chocolate, coffee and tea, foods containing tyramine, vitamins, minerals, pesticides, and several others. Where possible, the active ingredients and the minimal amounts responsible for the induction of pain have been identified.
