I too have a history of migraines......nothing worked.......I tired every kind of drug that the docs would recommend from cafergot to fiorinal to Imitrex and everything in between......some docs said I would outgrow them (particularly men can do this.....after they reach the age of 40ish), they were right to some degree......they did come less often. Â I spent two years 8 degrees from the equator and found that the heat and humidity had no effect positive or negative....my solution was to take a pain killer and find a dark room and hide for a few days. Â Useless waste of time. my migraines almost always occurred at night.
Well, i found that laying down does NOT help......I was taught by a wise monk to think of the pain as like a crying child asking for attention.
So now, when they rarely come, I get up at night (hard to do) sit quietly and pay deep attention to the pain, I comfort it and cradle it like a crying child. Giving it a lot of attention........not trying to hide from it as I had done in the past.
I know to many of you, this might sound wacko......but the proofs in the pudding.....I no longer fear these headaches, I mindfully pay attention to them in a loving manner.......caring for them, like I would a child.....they subside within 1/2 hour and then I too take an Excedrin......"the only medication OTC that has worked for my migraines" (andybones)
It works for me......I suspect it's the caffeine in it...
Try this technique it...it could work for you.

I had issues with migraines my whole life so I can relate about that. They got progressively worse when I moved to Florida, mainly I think due to the humidity. For me, drinking Orange Juice was a nice natural cure that helped immensely. That and Excredrine, that's about the only medication OTC that has worked for my migraines. Best of luck with your pain, and welcome to the forums!
