For me, these silent migraines seem to occur after I eat a meal high in histamine. (A salad with balsamic vinegar produces a reliable, strong effect within a few hours.) There is some recent research coming out of Europe that suggests that histamine intolerance is very real, but doctors and researchers in the US haven't caught up to this yet.
Overview of the research on histamine intolerance can be found here: http://www.aerzteblatt.de/pdf/103/51/a3477e.pdf
Histamine has been implicated in the pathogenesis of MS: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028390810...
