Surprise Headache and Wind
Last Thursday I got hit with a rather bad migraine. Actually it came on Wednesday night but got much worse early Thursday morning. I couldn’t figure out why it hit me, as the timing was off, I hadn’t gone off my plan for avoiding triggers, etc. Maxalt helped. The next day, I felt bad again, although it was a slightly different feeling. And then the winds hit. Aha! Big-time pressure change in the weather. It’s been a while since our weather has changed that dramatically that quickly, but I’m certain that that was what triggered this latest headache. And there wasn’t anything I could do about it.
Now it’s Saturday, and I’m feeling pretty good.

I have them too but know my triggers well enough to keep them down to only a few per year. Mostly it’s severe stress combined with lack of sleep, or overexposure to the sun.
Ever since I found Promethazine I haven’t had a full blown Migraine. As soon as I get the Aura and get the tunnel vision and disorientation, I take 50mg and about 30 minutes later all symptoms are gone! By the next day I’m fully recovered. The only side effects I have is drowsiness and dry mouth. But as long as I stay hydrated and take extra care driving, then I’m good to go.
Hope that is some help to you.

How did you find out that that worked for you? I looked it up on Wiki and didn’t see any mention of it for migraine.
