I have had Migrains all my life and get almost same triggers you get.
I am74 yrs and will say they are not as bad as when I was younger. I also have always gotten Migrains from the wind.

I get them from stress, any kind of stress; also from heat when the weather is too hot!! My dd gets them from heat also, but in addition from CHOCOLATE, poor baby!!!!! Cigarette smoke will also give each of us migraines.......

I feel so sorry for you ladies!!!! I hardly ever get a headache unless I have the flu. I have told my husband that if I complain of a terible headache he better get me to the
Emergency Room!!!!!

How did I forget to mention the wind in my face???? My DH would love to drive with the windows down, but I'll get a migraine every time! And I live in the wrong place for this, but heat and humidity will cause me to get one too.

For other Relpax users: I just went to the Relpax website to print out a coupon before I get my Rx refilled. They now have a temporary card you print out so that you only have to pay $10. The actual card will come in the mail.

What is Maxalt? I have them very often and my meds are so very expensive.

Barometric pressure, broken sleep, and monthly hormone changes are a few of my triggers.

oooops, already been asked and answered. :-D

Another thing DH was put on Verapamil, a prescription blood pressure medicine and his migraines really slowed way down. It's probably not a bad idea to have your BP checked regularly if your number or intensity increases. And there are prescription migraine preventative meds if you get them on a regular basis that are worth looking into.

Alcohol, yeast, cigarette smoke, some chemical smells (like new carpet) and barometric changes - esp high. Weather is the only one I can't control LOL, so I don't drink or eat fresh bread. I take topomax & a mild anti-depressant and MigRelief, and I only get 3-5 per month - down from 12-13. They're worse when I'm in AZ - especially as the weather heats up just before we leave in April. The years when we stay there till the end of April or even May, I have 6-10 HAs. Some doctor recently published a paper saying weather does NOT cause migraines. HA! My neurologist just laughed. She wonders how he did his research.
Imitrex (now has a much less expensive generic - sumatriptan) usually gets rid of them within 30 min.

That's the same thing I use. It is wonderful, isn't it. I was getting them 3 or more times a week. Not any more. I also use Nortriptolyne at night. Haven't had a migraine in several years now. Good stuff.

I wish you luck with yours. :wink:
