    What worked for me

    Not saying this will do it for you, but you might give it a shot.

    I have suffered from weekly migraines for several years, and had resigned myself to taking Relpax and beta blockers for the rest of my life to control them. However, about 6 months ago I decided to lose some weight. I stopped eating junk food and drinking soda and coffee, and I started a moderate exercise program. The first week of my new regimen was very difficult, but since then I haven't had a single migraine. It's been an unexpected but fantastic bonus.
