I rarely have pain with the migraines... If I have pain, it's usually just a bad headache. My migraines only cause the loss of vision/hearing, difficulty with speech, etc. I tried the "drug free" method for several years..... People calling 911 because they think you're having a stroke and you can't explain otherwise isn't fun.
I take as few drugs as possible: daily diuretic for high BP (had to be threatened by the Dr. to do it) and daily ibuprofen (low dose) for migraine prophylaxis. And, at $12/pill for the Frova.... I try to steer clear of any triggers.
My mom still does the "drug free" method, though.
