I suffer aswell. Heat sets them off, lack of fluids don't help either. Certain types of food also set them off aswell. Stress, smells, headbanging. When I was 5 my mum took me to the docters about them and asked the doc if they could run in the family, doc said no but. My dad suffers 2 of his sisters Their mum and 3 cousins Well I can't say what my mum said to the doc it wasn't very nice. Kym

Here's another one who suffers with migraines. Yes the sun does tigger them of for me. cooking certain things.. smoke is another thing now. and also looking forward to going out. I was supposed the have gone the a wedding reception last Sat. and was excited, but come 6pm I'm in Bed and it last until Tuesday... I go to the migraine clinic in London have been for about three years. I had an attack while there in Dec, so the doctor there prescribed Zomig nasal spray.. Touch wood so far they work very quickly, but they do give a terrible taste.So keepng my fingers crossed these are going to help. Trouble is you can't plan anything as you're always worried about getting one. Pat

Hi everyone I have suffered with migraines for years, unfortunately for me anything can trigger one off, including the sun in the summer. I used to get them really bad but thankfully, I have learned to controll them so they don't get as bad anymore. Nicola xx

Do you have migraine's, if so what causes them? Do you know? I usually get them in the summer, caused by the sunshine. Yesterday was a lovely sunny day here in Hertfordshire........and wallop, I got another one. There is no warning, just the sight goes, then the brick of a headache. Today, as it's another sunny day, I'm wearing my dark glasses, as I still have the headache, sights OK at the moment. I was going to meet a friend today, but had to cancel as I'm always frightened it will start again whilst I am away from home. UPDATE: They think they have found a new cure. Thats great, I'd go for it, would you?
