I reckon they might.

This is the EXACT type of migraines I get ever since I was hit in a vehicular accident. My side of head was gonged off the door frame of my car and scrambled some of my brain like eggs! Ever since then it's an ongoing battle to circumvent them.

Christmas lights in malls can trigger them. Bright lights, flickering florescent lighting, high humidity and barometric pressure also can contribute to them

Soon as I get that blurry "flicker" I KNOW one is about to eff up my vision and I race to find my extra strength Advil to counter it. If Iam not speedy enough getting one down the gullet...BOOM!! I cannot see right and the "colours" begin in one eye gradually moving across both then the intense pain that follows is enough to bring me to my knees. I absolutely hate it when one that isn't caught in time and subsequently screws my vision. If this happens while at work it makes it VERY difficult to do my job as I work predominately on computers. All I want to do at that point is lay down with eyes closed. I feel sick to my stomach sometimes too.

If it happens and I do not have any Advil sometimes highly caffeinated drink like coffee or tea may help ease them or even a chocolate bar. These do not always work however. Putting pressure between my thumb and fore finger can sometimes help.

I feel ya 100% on this !!

I want to get that peppermint oil and have that on hand. I never heard of that before.

Ah yeah, they suck balls (for want of a better description).

I never thought of the pressure point thing before, but when I was 15 on a school camp I got a really bad toothache & the teacher got me to rub ice on the webbing between my thumb and index finger & it stopped the pain within minutes. I might try that next time I get one.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but sometimes migraines are caused by a problem with your neck. I've heard a lot of stories of people being cured by physio (there's even a comment in my video from someone that experienced this). Unlike yours, mine are hereditary.

The only other thing I can recommend is a cold face-washer over your eyes (I'm yet to try one of those liquid blue eye masks).

Last weekend (between Thursday & Monday) I had 5 migraines which is the most I've had in one cluster. 6 months ago I thought I was growing out of them.

Hopefully yours get less severe or just go away over time.
