I get migraines aswell, but I only get them after I play hockey (not all the time, though). I've been told it's from dehydration.
As far as treatment goes, the one thing I've found by talking to people and reading on the internet is that different things work for different people. I had a friend who told me as soon as I know I'm going to get a migraine (my vision goes weird), that I should drink a can of Coke and take like 4 Advil. I found that this really worked for me.
I've been getting migraines for about 12 years now, and I used to get maybe one a month. Now I only get them maybe once every 4-6 months, and it's usually after a day where I haven't drank that much water, and/or I didn't eat that much. I agree with Claeren though, when my vision goes funny and I get this numb feeling throughout my body, that's typically the most uncomfortable part of the whole migraine process.
