Learn to manage: Migraine is very common. There is no cure. There is a way to manage. The first step is to try to understand the triggers. Often it is stress, sudden release from stress, change in weather, lack of sleep. Some find a specific food or drink can be the trigger. Next is prompt medication. Quickly take an effective medication to abort the attack. Often just a NSAID or a triptan or combination.

Proper diagnosis: Having a migraine correctly diagnosed by a neurologist is the key to successful treatment. Medications are the first line treatment, and there are many for your neurologist to choose from. Botox shots is specific trigger points is helpful in some migraineurs, and if this is effective, surgical nerve decompression may offer a permanent solution to the headaches. See a neurologist first, though.
