I have the same problem. What brings them on, I don't think I will ever figure it out. When they strike, I can barely think or focus. I have had to pull my car over several times to throw up. I don't think I could medicate them if I wanted to because my stomach has to remain empty during and for a while after they strike. Luckily, they don't strike to a full blown headache but maybe once a month or two. But, most days I have to live with that feeling that one could be coming on.

On the days when they strike the worst, I would probably take anything to make it stop.

Me, too. The closest I have been able to figure, they are brought on by changes in the air pressure when the weather changes.

I had tried everything available, and nothing worked. When I had my gall bladder out, they couldn't wake me up after the surgery because of a migraine. They gave me a shot of Imetrex, and in 15 minutes I was eating and had visitors.

Imetrex now takes care of 90% of my migraines. The only time it doesn't work is when I wake up with one, and it is already up behind my eye. Then the only thing that will help is multiple ziplocks filled with ice and a day in bed.
