How to deal with migraines??

[Green71R/T]

I use to get 2 or 3 migraines per week but since I have reduced the amount of refined carbohydrates in my diet I now only get 1 or 2 migraines per month.The triggers were perfumes,chocolate,hard cheese,peanuts,some cleaning products,diesel exhaust,chinooks,alcohol,and some chemical odors.Now the triggers aresome perfumes,some cleaning products,and some chinooks.If I eat more than 30 grams of sugar in one day the next day all my triggers return.It takes about three days to become less sensitive to migraines again.

I've never really watched what I ate and determined if stuff like that has any effect on my headaches.   What the heck is a chinook?  Helicopters give you a migraine?

Mine are usually triggered by weather and air pressure changes. If I'm lucky, Excedrin Migraine will relieve some of the pain. Most times it doesn't. Nothing else I've tried so far works.
I get incredibly sleepy most times, and usually go down until the next morning. If I wake with a headache, I pretty much know I'm done for the day.
Last year I had only one or two for the whole year, this year since mid January has felt like one after another. Spring and fall are the more frequent occurences.
They pretty much take me out for a day or three, sometimes longer. Afterward feels like I've gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.
Sound doesn't bother me, but light and smells sure do! Not uncommon to find me wearing sunglasses in the house.

Don't let them put you on Fiorocet , you can get rebound headaches from taking it. Ask me how I know

Chinooks are a warm wind that occur in the winter here in southern Alberta.The temperature can go from -30C to +10C in less than one hour.Huge barometric change.
