I am in full agreement with some of your other answer. Most doctors know nothing about nutrition.(and I find that strange because you would not want your mechanic not to know about gas and oil) Doctors are taught how to cover it up and cut it out,....but not what causes it.
But when I used to have a migraines I treated my stomach not my head. If I take pain killers, my head ache gets worse.
I haven't had one since I went on a better diet. Lots of fruits and veggies, limited meat, no dairy, no processed foods (if you can't pronounce it don't eat it)
good luck

Migranes are very different in everyone who has them and there is no known cure. I suffered from them as a child and found that lying under the bed clothes in the dark, helped me a lot. Painkillers are no good, as I found out. Try darkness and peace and quiet, even meditation might help. Hope you get better as I do know what you are going through.

Typically, migraine headaches are due to food allergies. You need to examine what you are eating each day and make some changes in your diet to fix the underlying problem instead of taking drugs that damage your body to relieve the pain.
Once you have fixed your diet, you won't need drugs and your headaches will stop.
Migraines are not normal and are due to something. I've never know anyone to be deficient in drugs. Doctors can only diagnose you and then only prescribe drugs or surgery legally or they will lose their license if they go beyond that protocol. They know somewhere between zero and very, very, little about nutrition, so don't expect them to offer you any help there.
I would seek out a certified nutritional therapist to figure out what you need to change in your diet. The typical low fat, high carb diets are notorious for causing this problem.
good luck to you

My migraines are hormonal, and if I can't throw up during my aura, then I have to get shots of heavy duty pain meds to go to sleep. If I am able to throw up, then I will lay down with cold compresses until I go to sleep, then just have residual pain for about an hour.
I have tried Imitrex (did not work). The latest shot taken that worked was Reglan with promethazine, but it knocks me out for about 4 hours.
