.The thing that helped the most was avoiding all artificial sweetners.That is the only thing that works for me.[/quote]

Very few people really believe that the artificial sweeteners are as bad as they really are. Aspartame is the worst, and there's new ones coming out every so often, as well as the worst ones being renamed. Aspartame is being re named Amino Sweet...doesn't that sound delicious? And High Fructose Corn Syrup is being renamed, they are removing the High Fructose part of it. Too many people getting ideas about how bad it is.
My migraines ran in our family, most of our large family had or has them. And my Mother remarked that her father would come walking home from plowing, with his hands over his eyes and throwing up as he came home to lie down in a dark room.
I generally carry a codeine type of prescription with me when I travel, but now can stop it in the very early stages with aspirin or willow bark, but sometimes I wake up with one and that is hard to get rid of. I try to vary the over the counter pain killers because of their own damages when over done.
