What helps me the most is that I started thinking about it as a multi sensory processing disorder. If I let any of my senses get overwhelmed my other senses get more reactivate and my migraine gets worse.
So as soon as I start to feel overstimulated I need to calm my senses.
My home is neutral zone. Completely fragrance free/chemical free. I listen to music for at least 30 minutes every day. I have one room with black out blinds if I need it. I always have bland food on hand. I have noise cancelling headphones if I need them.
But when I am better I spend part of my day outside. I live in a small city so I prefer to go to a park or trail.
I am not cured by any stretch of the imagination. But before I was in a constant pain level of about 8. And I felt like I lived on Mars in a cologne factory. Now my baseline is about a 5 and I recover from exposure to my triggers much faster if I keep it brief. I still get bad weather migraine but you can't have everything.

I need cold on the head and neck and darkness, quiet and my bed. once the migraine arrives I don't have the ability to sit up or walk or read. I don't eat or drink as it doesn't stay down. Sometimes heat on the feet and ice on the head. I do find the TENS machine helpful on the neck and shoulders. I also put A535 on the neck, shoulders, cheeks and forehead for some relief

Eating a healthy diet is what helps me most. I find that food triggers are a big piece to the puzzle for me.

Darkness and quiet with a cool fan to regulate the temperature.

@A MyMigraineTeam Member If you find a way to keep stress away please let me know how. Lol. The more I try to avoid it the worse it seems to be. Everyone around me won't cooperate :)
