hi. i too have suffered with migraines with auras. they started about age 18 and i would have them once in a blue moon. then when i hit 40 they started coming every tine i turned around. lasted for 24-48 hrs. then an article appeared in people magazine about head trainer for san francisco 49ers. he discovered a cocktail of 2 aleive, 1 magnesium and 1 b2 tablet. he fave this coctail to one of his football players that struggled with migraines. so i tried it too. it worked for a long time. but yyoy myst take it daily to keep away migraines. then read a book on the effects of food on migraines and it suggested getting tested for food allergies. this turned out to be my path. i had recently moved to a new area abd testing showed a build up of iron and aluminum in my system - both minerals were found in the water supply because pipes were old. i immediately switched to bottle water for drinking and cooking. my husband gad not been affected by the minerals but i was. i went thru 6 weeks of celation therapy- easy peasy. i also found i was heavily reactive to msg, aged cheese and green beans! i had to give these up. have not gad a migraine since- almost 20 years except few instance where msg was in the food. long story but hopefully illustrates that both environmental factors as well as food can be possible triggers for you. find your triggers . keep a journal every day of what you eat , drink and see if you can spit triggers. tgen get tested. while it nay ve expensive to test it can beneficial. long term impacts of continued migraines are strokes. Good luck

Thanks for your response! What a mystery it can be and it sounds like you did the right detective work. A friend suggested just yesterday that I keep not only a food journal but a 'life' journal to see if there is an identifiable trigger. It makes sense. thanks again.
