I used to get them a lot and occasionally still do. I started taking omega 3 pills in high school to keep my knees from having problems when I danced and it had a lot of other good side effects, including reducing my migraines. Mine are mostly triggered by food and I have stopped drinking coffee and eating soy since I seem to have a reaction to the tyromine (sp). For my mother it was stress and tension and she started getting massages and managing her stress and it helped a lot.
My best friend''s mom got them but had crooked teeth and when she got them straighted the migraines stopped. I have heard it happens for a number of people but I don''t know why.
An unusual option helped a family friend. She once had a migraine so painful she nearly attempted suicide and had to be taken to the hospital and frequently got them. A doctor recomended botox. They injected it into the side of her head where she got the migraines because it paralyzes the vessels so they cannot expand. It has been the ONLY thing that worked for her and she goes she gets them much less often and they are no longer debilitating.
I know some of these are wierd, but migraines seem to be caused by all sorts of things and to respond to all sorts of things. For my mom, caffine makes it worse; for my brother, it is the only thing that helps.
