Imitrex (Sumatriptan) helped me. For years I erroneously thought I had sinus difficulties as a migraine is one sided. The mechanism that triggers a migraine literally allows swelling in and around your brain.
It is excruciating and I had three or more a month when I was younger. I still get the aura at times, but if I take just two Advil now that I am in my seventies, I only get a slight headache. I used to go to work so sick with a headache and was very light sensitive.
