I'm a lifetime migraine sufferer. Going from our home at 1100' to camp at 6700', I often experience mild migraines every morning when I wake up.
If you con't have it, you should ask your doctor to prescribe Imitrex, also called Sumitriptan for it. It comes in tablets and also self injectibles. It is not a narcotic, I believe that it expands the blood vessels, and it ALWAYS gets rid of a migraine for me. Several decades ago, when it became available in the US (Europe got it first), my life was changed amazingly for the better.
Prior to the availability of Imitrex, I had to take Tylenol with Codeine, which is a narcotic, and I hated the codeine, but had to take it so I could still function when I had a migraine. I have even purchased Imitrex in Mexico.
