Make sure you get your two litres of water a day, avoid excess caffeine are the two big ones.
Take a walk everyday and get some fresh air in your lungs too.
Stress can have serious effects on the body and cause migraines, have a think if there's anything on your mind that could be causing the pain. |

Keep a diary for a while saying what you eat and drink, what your stress levels are like each day and what you do that day and also record when you have a migraine, then go docs with it and ask for help  |

"Some folk are very sensitive to aspartame, found in diet drinks.
There is also a migraine support group, the link of which I can't post here but google it.
I take triptans. "
Very true ... i avoid it as it is also bad for your kidneys, i would rather have sugar which gives me no problems |

I know this may sound dirty but masturbation is proven to help as we a man climaxes it releases a natural chemical in your body which acts as a pain killer similar to what u get in tablets over the counter |

I exceed 2 litres a day, hardly touch coffee/tea, my job envolves a lot of walking. It might be the stress, but I know how to manage that (been on a few stress management courses). |

I started getting them when I got pregnant, about four a week. Then afterwards about one every 8 weeks. Then about 8 years ago they just stopped and I rarely get one now.
I have no idea why they just stopped

Migraleve duo pack for an over the counter remedy, but as mentioned earlier, Triptan based medications work best. I use sumatriptan injections for cluster headache. P. |

I've suffered for almost 40 years and it's dietary that triggers it. I've been to GP, neurologist (including mri brain scan) , acupuncture, food allergy and homeopath. The food allergy test found I had a reaction to MSG which explained a lot. I once ate a Pukka Pie and with 15 mins I was suffering. It's the most horrible thing and it's the one time I would seriously consider killing myself

"I have had acupuncture, it stopped a migraine that I had for a fortnight.
Doesn't do anything for the one/two day ones though."
I know many people who have food allergies, some as simple as a potato etc. They had tried food diaries, but never isolated the food themselves. Tests available at Holland & Barratt. |
