I've had a migraine continuously, of varying intensity, since Sunday. It's hindered my productivity and is fairly demoralizing. If you're an academic that has tricks to manage migraines, I'd love to hear how. (Yes, I've seen [multiple] neurologists.)

So my migraines are aura-less — yet two neurologists say they are truly migraines. I've tried other triptans but without much luck. I'll try these recommendations though, thanks!

Aura-less migraine may be sinus-related rather than true migraine. Pain presentation is very similar but the treatment is to get the clogged passage open.

Interesting, that could explain the strong correlation with Fall. Maybe something in the air. Also usually associated with neck pain but I can't tell if that's secondary symptom or causal.

My pain presentation starts in the back of the neck, moves over the top of the head and settles behind one eye. Don't know why (trigeminal nerve doesn't innervate the back of the neck) but it seems to be a common pattern.
