OMG, there are many causes to migraines, and for each migraine, there may be man causes. If you are perhaps light sensative, as in with Irlene Syndrome, which effects 10% of the nation, filtered colored lenses in blues, browns or grays may be effective. For others it is hormonal, and once hormones reduce in levels as with age, the migraines susbside. For others it is food related, ie do not eat yeast, cafine or anything that contains these items, also peanuts are considered a trigger as are food colorings and preservatives. Typical treatments forr migraines include high blood preasure meds, no matter what your blood preasure reads and ainti seazure medications. Yeah team, added with barbituates and viocodine, it makes a very happy teen. Other methods to consider if the above has not worked, is bio feed back, acupucture and accupreasure. But if in the midst of a headache, and you lie down, have a rolled towel under your neck, tilting your head back, if you can be slightly angled with a soft pillow under your shoulders it can help with acupreasure, add ice under feet and hands, as this will slow the preasure in your head. As a daily thing eat a baked potatoe with cayene pepper, and before bed soak your feet in a hot tub for fifteen minutes. Well, thats is what i learned after spending almost 200k in medical bills, hope some of it helps. Currently diet, and bio feedback, with tinted lenses have kept the headaches at bay and under control for the last 18 mos, which is much better than it has ever been before.
