I had migraine headaches for 45 years. Mine were all associated with the menstral cycle. I went to the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago and they put me on Nardil. It is a potent drug but it helped a great deal. Dr. Diamond had me keep a journal of what caused headaches. What I ate, what was the weather, what was my state of mind, etc. There are certain foods that will trigger them. Any kind of food with a slippery texture; bananas, chocolate, hot dogs, sausages, avacado, etc. When I finished with the change of life, the migraines went away. I still have a headached once in a while, but two Tylenol kills it. Good luck. I knew truly what they meant when they said why do you hit your head against the wall, it feels so good when you stop. It was very hard for me to keep a professional life, be a wife and mother, and all the other things.
