One other tip: Caffeine just after you get the triggers can help avoid a migraine and here's why: Caffeine is a vasodilator, which means it presses down on the blood vessels and when a migraine is triggered, the blood vessels are actually widened, which is what causes the incredible flashes and then boom, unreal pain.

So if you pop a little dose of caffeine, it can prevent the rapid opening of the blood vessels which cause the agony.

For some, caffeine does nothing or makes it worse, but in some cases, it can save your ass.

For me, the feverfew does it, so I'm lucky.
