Migraine Headaches

I have had migraines since I was 15 years old. To anyone who does not know a migraine is a horrible headache that often includes nausea & vomiting, sever pain, sensitivity to lights, noises, and smells. I have had migraines last 5 or 6 days. In search of a cure or treatment I went to Medical University of South Carolina, The Michigan Head Pain and Neurological Institute, neurologists, chiropractors, message therapists, pain management and several emergency room doctors. There is no cure for migraines. Since migraines have many different triggers and causes all you can really do is try to prevent them by avoiding these triggers. Of course simple things like getting enough sleep, eating right, and avoiding caffeine can help avoid a migraine. After 11 years of having migraines I definitely feel like an expert on the subject.
