Anyone get them? How often do you get them and what do you think triggers it?



I've just eaten a mars bar and I can feel one starting to come on! I usually get 1 migraine a week. however i'm starting to get less as i've been noticing the food/drink that causes them



- Chocolate (but not always)

- Red Cheese (Red Leicester is my favourite cheese!!!)

- Diet fizzy drinks (I always look at the labels to find out if they have Aspartame)

- Bright lights (I work in an office and sometimes the lights affect me :/ )



Also nothing seems to work to take it off other than asprin (30 tablets for 89p

I get a headache once in a while..



My cousin used to get them really bad. He had to sit in a room with all the lights off and no sounds what so ever.
 
On planes from the pressure, and sometimes if I eat too much chocolate...

Yep that is what I have to do!
 
I get terrible headaches...migraines as well as cluster/tension headaches.

Dark room, lay down, no lights, no sound, no strong smells (do you realize how nasty coffee smells when you have a headache) I keep those re-usable ice packs in the freezer. I also use one of those at the back of my head, to help ease the pain.....
 
Yeah I get em, usually triggered by foods.
