Default Anybody suffer from Migraine's???

I mean like eyes are blurry, throwing up, can't walk migraines? I'm 19 and have suffered from them since the age of 16. Had a terrible one yesterday and was out of work. Since I was about 17 I have been on a daily medication called Topomax - and it has worked wonders!! I am usually OK except for the occasional one that is usually brought on by stress. Example yesterday!! But I just wanted to see if anybody else deals with this and if you guys had any tips/tricks on how you deal with it.

I normally do a combo of the following:

*At the first sign of an attack I call my chiropractor - he can adjust me and work on the pressure points in my neck and head.

*Take two wet washclothes and put it in the freezer until it is kinda crunchy/flexible. I put one over my eyes and one on the back of my neck.

*Get in a dark quiet room asap. The more I move the more susectible I am to vomiting!

Again I would love to hear how you guys deal with a migraine!!
