[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 304447, member: 439"] She's going to have to figure out her triggers. I need to have any 2 of the following happen - hormones (got them terrible during periods, and now that I'm going through menopause, I get a LOT of them), weather pressure changes, allergies, low blood sugar, high blood sugar, excessive caffeine, too much alcohol. IF I can lay down for about an hour when I first feel one coming on, I may stop it. But mine always present as nausea, so most medications don't work because they had a side effect of nausea. Small amounts of caffeine actually help prevent (for me). I drink a diet coke at lunch every day. Mine usually seem to hit early afternoon and get worse from there. Ice packs alternating with heat sometimes help. I always ALWAYS have the pain on the left side of my head (I feel like if I could remove my left eye and the sinus cavities behind it I would be fine). Birth control pills may help, or may make it worse. For me, they made is so I only had a headache during my period (when I wasn't taking the pills). That was at least managable vs. never knowing when one might strike. [/QUOTE]
