Profiling My Migraine Brain

If you are reading this, you may be interested in knowing if my migraine brain is anything like yours.  And so, here's the low down, but please remember that each attack can be different...

Onset Symptoms:
-Aura
-Neck and jaw pain
-Tingling on one side of my face, along the jaw line
-Incessant yawning

The Migraine Itself:
-Usually starts on one side, but will migrate to the other before the end of the attack, or after a nap
-Sharp, stabbing, pulsing pain
-Most often the pain spreads from my eyebrow area, around the back of my head and down my neck
-Sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting

Relief:
-Triptans, if you have migraines and have not tried this class of drug you must.  They work wonders, but unfortunately for me, are very expensive and way out of my poor students budget (includes Imitrex, Maxalt, Zomig, etc.)
-Advil (sometimes, but I try not to take them too often)
-Peppermint Oil, in the tub, on my face and neck, or in an aromatherapy diffuser
-Tiger Balm, for my neck and shoulders
-Cold Compress or cloth, for my face and neck
-Heating pad, again for my shoulders and neck
-Bath (especially with rosemary mint bath salts)
-Mint hair conditioner
-Mint face masks
-Espresso (sometimes, other times it can make it worse if I am already dehydrated)
(I can usually tell if a migraine will respond better to hot or cold, from there I choose if the Tiger Balm and heating pad, or cold compress and peppermint oil would be best)

Prevention
-Amitriptyline (I've gone from 25-100mg/day in 2 years)
-Water
-Sleep
