I never had migraines growing up, but now that I've reached the age of 25, I've started to develop serious migraines. Sometimes it is so bad that I can't even get out of bad, and just have to lay in the dark and silence.
I can't figure out what the trigger is, although drinking caffeinated beverages sometimes eases the pain.

Elijah,

Have you been to the doctor and diagnosed with Migraines? If not, that's important because there are other medical conditions that have similar symptoms.
When working to identify triggers one of the best tools is a good Migraine diary. You can read more about this and download a free diary workbook in our article Your Migraine and Headache Diary. You can find a list and more information about Migraine triggers in Common Migraine Triggers. If you haven't already, talk with your doctor about identifying your triggers. He or she should be able to help.
