Barbara,

What time do you get up in the morning. If Migraines are there when you wake or shortly after, they're often triggered by sleep issues.

As for the time of year, are there more barometric pressure changes/weather changes that time of year where you live? That can be a Migraine trigger too. Take a look at Migraines Often Triggered By Change In the Weather.

If you're taking Migraine abortive meds such as triptans or any kind of pain med more than two days a week, a big part of your problem may well be medication overuse headache (MOH), aka rebound. See Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires for more information on this. If you're in an MOH situation, nothing you take is going work, neither prescription nor "natural" medications. If that's the case, you need to work with your doctor to stop the medications causing the problem.

A big key to figuring this out would be to identify your triggers? Do you know what yours are? If not, keeping a Migraine diary can help. See Your Migraine and Headache Diary for a downloadable diary workbook.

Good luck,

Teri
