Story: No, Not Even Then

How was it then?

I suffer from terrible migraines. I don’t know what causes them, but I have had them all my life. At various times in my life, I have been told that they could be caused by cheese, chocolate, yoghurt, nuts, mangoes, coffee, and a whole host of other things. If a food was identified as a possible trigger, I would try to avoid it, but I was completely incapable of avoiding certain foods. Chocolate, for example, was non-negotiable. Also cheese. I could not give up chocolate for even a short time. I am pretty sure that if my doctor told me I had to stop eating chocolate or I would die, I couldn’t have done it. I would have just accepted death by chocolate as my fate.

How is it now?

I have not eaten chocolate in nine months.
