Yes as everyone can see, if you are susceptible to having migraines, just about anything can set them off. Missing meals and bright lights are key to just about any of us I think. ((((hugs)))

Now for remedy (other than doing what I know to be good for me lol) I use the Zomig zmt that dissolves on my tongue. The quicker I take the medicine, the less likely it is that I will have a severe migraine. (You know what that is, the lay on your side in bed in the darkest, quietest room, with the bucket at the side for barfing, knowing that your head will explode if you have to barf.)

I have used the other meds with good success too (Imitrex comes to mind.) But nothing as fast as the zmt.
Can you take meds? Have you tried them? You can usually get a free sample. The med makes life livable. Even today I took one at 11:30 am just after my dental cleaning and tooth buildup...terrible stress on jaw. But, after eating some lunch, I was feeling ok and was able to continue on my list of tasks to get done today. (I don't recommend this though. And my MD says to lie down anyway and be sure to take the second dose.) I guess you just have to get to know yourself?

Feel better!
