We have tried Thai products Sumigran and Siagran, (allegedly containing the equivalent of 50 gram of Sumatriptan) – did not work.

We have tried Replax (40 mg of Eletriptan) – no longer effective.

So, back to Ergotamine tablets - these come with some side effects, but always work if taken early.

We have just tried another product called “Migraine Care” (from BioCeuticals).

Tablets to be taken daily and claiming to “reduce the occurrence of mild migraines” – and it really does – so far.

The tablets contain Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Folic Acid B12, and Vitamin B12 (all together equals Mega B?). Also included are Magnesium, Q10 and a herbal extract (Feverfew).

Migraine headaches have dropped from say 3 a week, down to say 1 every 10 days.

We have previously tried ‘Mega B’ tablets as often quoted as beneficial for migraine sufferers, but gave up due to nausea – like too strong?

Likewise, I think Magnesium and Q10 previously quoted as beneficial.

Good to have all of these several beneficial items in one daily tablet – that does reduce the number of migraine attacks.

Time of year for low pressure migraines. i generally have every couple months but can have multiple times a day or daily for a week. I carry on regardless and mostly ignore it, I don't take anything, rarely tell anyone I'm having one, works for me

You saying, that a cocktail of Vitamin B supplements suppressed migraines makes me wonder, if you actually have the MTHFR mutation (around 20% of the populace do).

It makes it harder for your body to process folate; supplementation with methylized forms of folate (5-MTHF) and B12 (Methylcobalamin) often help, but if you take too much, they can lead up to a level of homocysteine in the blood leading to blood vessel dilation, meaning migraines.

An easy way to counteract that is Trimethylglycine to lower this overshoot of homocysteine. There are foods that are rich in this, so if your migraines got better when eating spinach or shellfish, that would lead you in this direction. As you cannot start chucking down oysters anytime you have a migraine, you can buy Trimethylglycine as a very cheap supplement (careful, this is Betaine TMG, not 'just' Betaine).

Why do I know this? I have the MTHFR mutation, but good luck and no migraines.

When having a migraine, drink at least half a liter with some rock salt added (or just salt, I do not prefer sea salt because of microplastics), maybe you are just dehydrated a bit, or both reasons come together.

I saw a YouTube video from a guy dressed in a surgery green shirt with a stethoscope around his neck (so he must be a real doctor 😊) and he was listing migraine relief in order. First was sitting in a darkened room (not original or very helpful), but 2 was inducing 'brain freeze' with a cold drink.

Sounds high risk and wacky, but maybe worth a try?

One interesting factor was when I suggested this to a friend who's a migraine sufferer, she said she never gets brain freeze from iced drinks. I get major brain freeze from drinking any iced drinks, but never get migraines. So from my, admittedly limited survey of two people, I'm wondering if there's a link between an absence of brain freeze and susceptibility to migraines?
