I've been blessed with migraines for years. I've found a few things can help to curb them. A warm rag does sometimes do the trick. Sometimes drinking a shit ton of cold water helps me. Believe it or not, a Coke (not Pepsi, not Mt Dew) can sometimes keep it bay. I'm not much of a soda drinker so I have to be out and about when it strikes if I'm going to buy one.
I generally know within an hour if those 3 things will help or not. Unfortunately there's those really nasty ones that nothing seems to help. For those days I pop an imitrex (thank God for imitrex). Take 1 and if it doesn't subside within an hour or two take a second. Rarely does 1-2 imitrex not completely alleviate (I can count on one hand) a full blown, knock down- drag out, migraine.
