Migraines
Ever since I was a really little kid, I've suffered from migraines. They seem to occur about once or twice every couple of months, and I have no idea why they start. Thankfully, I can sense them coming on before they happen, and I'm now able to take some painkillers in anticipation and then sleep it off.
My question is - do any of you guys suffer from these, and what could set your migraines off? They're really painful, and annoying.

Take some kind of pain killer
Drink some caffeine
Massaging your neck and temples also try streching everything from your lower back and up
Either warm or cool down the blood flowing through your head.. Stand in a cold shower or in front of something warm
Could be your sinus cavities..Do you have allergies? Try some sinus or allergy medicine that may help
If none of that works I would go see the doctor if its really that bad and you have insurance you will probably have to get an MRI done. I had an MRI before when I was younger to see the cause of my migrane's and it turned out there was something in my head causing them which then I got medication and it went away
anywho best of luck to you
Anyway, certain food and drink can set them off as well. I think it might have been the champagne I was drinking both yesterday and the day before (I had a migraine on both days, after drinking this).
Who knows. I'm going to the doctor soon to get checked out.
Horrible stuff. I used to get sinus headaches every day and since then I've been having a variety off and on. At the worst I'll get them every day for 3-4 days but I usually only get a bad one a couple of times a month.
I've been to a lot of specialists and tried a hell of a lot of different treatments to no avail.
Nothing over the counter has ever done anything to ease the pain for years, and even if they did I wouldn't take them unless I had to. Rebound headaches are a bitch.
I've found some are caused by stress, some are caused by weather, dehydration, diet, etc. but I've never been able to actively do anything to stop them.
I guess you just learn to cope as with everything. I've found the sooner you accept things, the sooner they stop afflicting you.
PS: try acid
Go to your local botanist and pick up some Morning Glory (heavenly blue) seeds which contain LSA instead. Eat about 20 - 50 of them. This will completely cut a migraine off by its root, while it shouldn't be a high enough dosage to cause psychedelic effects.
May have an unpleasent taste and cause minor nausea, however benefits greatly outweigh risks.
Asshole: If a gram of aspirin cures your migraines, then you're not getting "real" migraines.
Also caffeine withdrawal causes migraines. So caffeine will only cure headaches caused by it.

thanks for the info man
Klonopin will take care of a lot of things, lol.
At one point it was like a weekly thing,it would start with sensitivity to light,sound and smell.Then fuck all pain!!
Nothing helped except a change in environment.
I firmly believe my family was toxic to me,I moved out when I was 19 and have not had a puking surround sound head ache since.I'm now 43, the only headache
I get now is my own fault for drinking too much:D.
But even that does not compare at all with a full blown migraine.
Try changing things up a bit, your body might be be reacting too a situation that it don't like.
Letting my hair get to long does as well.
As I got older I stopped experiencing them.
