Does anyone else have this problem? If so, have you found any solutions? The migraines usually aren't that bad, but they do put me out of commission for an hour or two at work (hard to type when you can't see the screen).
I don't know a lot about migraines, but maybe with some additional analysis you can get some further clues as to what is really triggering them. Is it the motion of cycling, the rise in activity level, the fresh air? Maybe it's just a matter of substituting some other form of exercise if there's an extended period of time you can't ride. Or maybe you'd have to keep an old bike on a trainer.
