Need Help with Migraine Management

What are your tips with coping with or preventing a migraine? I get over 15 days of a migraine a month with severe pain, being sick, fatigue and sensitivity to light and movement. Tried lots of medications, seeing a neurologist but it’s hard to find what works for me with other conditions/medication. Any advice would be so helpful.

For me, understanding my triggers was critical. I got better at reading and listening to my body when it would tell me things. I know that certain types of alcohol don't agree with me (e.g. red wine, tequila) and others aren't as much of an issue (e.g. white wine, vodka). And interrupted sleep is a huge no-no. It practically guarantees a migraine. I looked across my life and all my experiences with migraines and tried to draw connections. Only then could I really take steps to manage them.

Ajovy has been a game changer for me. Went from a migraine nearly every day to 4 or 5/month.

I had the exact same experience. I was getting three or four migraines a week and then taking a day or two to recover from them, and near-constant "normal" headaches, and since starting the ajovy injection I usually only get one or two migraines a week.
