It had to be very difficult to suffer migraines without relief.
I agree with you, the most efficacious approach is to catch it as early as possible and take as many measures as possible, in hopes of aborting the migraine.
I was also given pain meds for migraines, as the type of migraine I was experiencing make it dangerous to use the newer drugs. When I would go to the ER, they would give me massive amounts of morphine and an anti-nausea med.
I would have to stay for several hours.
I am sorry you had to go through that, too.
