I have had migraines since I was about seven, going on twenty years now, I had MRI's done and when I was young my doctors prescribed me a migraine pill to take once a day for a year that really curbed them, where before I was missing school and getting them every week and they would last three days or more, they were getting serious. I hate them, they subsided for awhile but now are coming back, any kind of orange cheese seems to trigger them in people and caffeine, every doctor will tell you to keep a journal of what you eat every day and when you get the headaches and you will see a pattern, then you can fix it from there.
Also my doctor told me that heat helps a ton! It brings the blood flow back into your head because that is also a problem, the blood is not flowing correctly, if you immerse yourself in the hottest water you can stand, it helps a lot. If your out, run your hands under really hot water for a few minutes, and your good to go for a bit, and like basschick said, the hot water on a towel on the back of your neck and temples work, sorry for the long post.
