Therapy-resistant migraines

I purchased a large calendar (has the whole month on each page) and write all info on it. If I wake up with a migraine, I write down what I had for supper the night before. I do the same if I develop a migraine during the day. I write down not only food but types of OTC pills or sumatriptan. I highlight in yellow if I took a sumatriptan. You can usually see a pattern of what triggers a migraine. Sometimes a strong smell or odor triggers them, I write that down too. At the end of the month, you'll see foods that are likely to trigger migraines.

Keep track of when you take sumatriptan as it will cause rebound headaches. Try eletriptan, for me the rebound headaches are not as frequent.
