Hey CP, I know that there was a thread from 2008, but thought I would start a new one.

Migraines. Have suffered through these horrible things since I was a kid. As I’ve aged the wild changes in weather have started making them worse. I admittedly take way to many painkillers for these, which only leads to rebound headaches.

Over the years I’ve gone the heavy drug route (imatrex) which I had to quit on account it made me feel like crap, worse then the migraine. Seems like the trigger can be hit or miss, coffee sometimes, drinking sometimes, not eating etc.

Would love to hear other Migraine sufferers tips. I’m a pretty healthy and active guy. Try to eat decent and get better sleep, but some level of migraine from dull pain to absolute brain destruction occur between every 1-3 weeks.

Any advice, thoughts, or found something that works?
