No meds here. After nothing worked to stop or even mitigate my jump-off-the-bridge migraines, in desperation I went to a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. He took my pulse and asked a bunch of questions and gave me a big bag of leaves and flowers and bark and whatnot, told me to boil it up and drink the juice, two cups a day for a week. The stuff was incredibly foul, but it was worth it: I had one tiny migraine after that, then one start-of-a-migraine, and then no more. A year later I started having problems again (migraines are often seasonal, and late spring/early summer is peak season), and my practitioner had me take a milder and more form of the same medicine for a couple of weeks. Since then, never a migraine.
