PaulTon:
I have suffered from migraines since I was a teenager, in the last year I have been getting them more frequently and they are getting more severe and lasting longer (2 days now).
I know that various foods can trigger them, so I avoid these. Does anyone know of any way to reduce the symptoms? I don't mean meds, I have those but they don't always work.
Any fellow sufferer will understand what I go through, so does anyone have any advice on coping strategies or natural remedies that may help me? Please!!

I get migraines, sometimes very severe ones.
Medication-wise, the only thing that works for me, is something called Migril. Otherwise, it's off to the local hospital for a nice pethedine drip.
None of the so-called migraine cocktails work for me.
I also tried cutting out caffeine and MSG, eating vegetables every night, reduce red meat intake, no red wine etc etc. Nothing reduced the severity.
I now have a new theory (A theory which is mine) <---geddit?
It's atmospheric pressure.
Whenever the barometer drops/raises, I seem to get a migraine.
Anyway, I don't have enough data yet to prove my theory.
Try the Migril's though - they really work for me.
Cheers,
Peter
