Nothing else to say on the matter

- This made me laugh, which hurt my head, but I still appreciate it
  
  Drink a bit more water than usual and massage some pressure points on your hands and feet.
  Stepping outside to breathe in the outdoor air also helps. A short walk if you can is also good.
  
  Migrains are terrible. Hope you feel better soon. I had a bad one last week.

Don't we all just know it.

Me when I have a migraine

Sorry buddy. I have cluster headaches and I know how debilitating they are. Seems new treatment for migraines is on its way, hopefully sooner than later.
- Fuck cluster headaches too. I'm sorry for you as well. I've tried many migraine treatments. None work very well. Crossing my fingers.
  
  My wife was given vitamin B2 (400mg) to try to combat her migraines, she had a weird reaction (possibly a series of things unrelated) and got hives, so didn't follow through, but I figured to pass along the possibly unconventional Med suggestion. (Also takes topiramate)
- Have you tried shrooms? Genuinely curious. And I don't mean that as a suggestion, I'm just wondering because I've read that psilocybin can dramatically improve symptoms for some people.
  
  I had tried microdosing before but no good. A tank of oxygen was another treatment. Just not much you can do when the pain is a real 10. Thankfully it does seem you grow out of it. Since I hit my 30s the space between attacks grew and now in my 40s it's no longer 2x a day but a short period every other year. I still follow treatments just in case my son has those genes.
  
  I've considered psilocybin. Bonus that it's now legal in Colorado. I'll have to investigate that some more.

I'm so glad I don't get migraines. I know how shitty they are just by seeing people affected by them my whole life. I feel for you.
- Thank you

Migraines trying to get my attention:

Strong coffee really help with my migraine. Use as little sugar (or any sweetener) as possible.
But then, when you're addicted to caffeine, that bring a whole different kinds of headache LOL.

I get terrible migraines. They got so bad that I have to get a monthly injection to keep them at bay.

I'm really sorry. Just to offer a little hope, a friend of mine at church was beset with almost daily migraines when she hit retirement age, if you can believe that. Several years of trying everything, and a hail Mary pass trying amitriptyline of all things finally calmed them down. She still has mild symptoms when weather fronts roll through, but it's much improved.
I really hope you find something that works well for you. Migraines suck.

My mom had these all her life and only in recent years got some semi effective meds. I've had them on and off for a while and for a month had cluster headaches, no fun.

From my experience of migraines, if you can look at a screen, you're not having a migraine
- I'll be sure to tell my neurologist about your knowledge here.
