In resonse to that question, there is no good evidence to what causes migraines, only what "may", or "might" trigger them. I too did that elimination with food. I did read some where that most "migraineurs" do not get them because of foods. ( I have done my research on migraines) I have suffered 16 years with migraines, and chronic headaches. Headaches I can "deal" with better, but a migraine, there is no dealing. It takes over your body. Your head feels like it weighs a ton, and you are very, very nauseated.  I agree with Dr K, and Teri, you should see a good doctor. It's hard finding someone who really listens, because I think all of us have been down that road, like Teri says in her book. "LIVING WELL WITH MIGRAINE DISEASE AND Headaches."

I fell and hit my head when I was young but, I don't know if that has to do with my migraines. They do run on my mother's side. I know for sure that it's genetic, and I don't need a doctor to tell me that. But..........with medications, you have to keep trying and try it more than once. I tried Midrin for a second time, and it seemed to work. Now, it doesn't "always" work, but it has been the best abortive medicine, no the only "abortive" medicine I found out there. Keep looking. Pray, and don't give up! Trust me, I go thru this everyday, and you can't let it beat you. Good luck!
