I wonder if men's are also hormonally influenced? so that after a certain age, the ferocity is more likely to lessen?
(I'm hanging on to the thought that the "discomfort" will lessen one of these years)

For years, I tried all types of migraine meds and nothing worked unless I caught them really early in the day. Finally a few years ago, I tried Excedrin and caffeine together and that works for me and continues to.

Ctrzaska, since I suffer so badly in our summers, I'm wondering has the winter been easier for you? Or does the winter light affect you? (or for that matter, the extreme cold this year?)

What I find interesting about this fact sheet is a) the info on cuddling ;-) :-D (fits in with the CureTogether findings) and also b) the advice on ear plugs.
One of my warnings signs is when sounds starts to 'cut' through me, make my nerves jangle and heart pound. If I try to work through it, or don't pay attention, next thing I know, any sounds become too loud and almost solidly tangible, sharp like blinding light. I might not have a headache of any standard kind, but I am so sensitive to noise that it's become excruciating and I need to be alone. So when the screaming kids visiting next-door start...well, you can imagine. It's been hell the last few days, as the kids have stayed over with their grandparents: I sent D out to buy ear plugs as I couldn't even think, but it was still early. What a difference!!! Delayed full onset of the migraine by about 12 hours! I'm as good as deaf when I wear them, but I'm gonna use them a lot, I think.
