Even those who suffer mild and infrequent attacks and try to carry on their lives regardless admit that their quality of life is diminished during attacks. For those sufferers who live with migraine on an almost daily basis, life can become almost unbearable. But they would only be partly right. For cheese, stress, and so on, are only a few of the trigger factors that can combine to produce an attack in a migraine sufferer. Why we get migraine in the first place is a moot point.
Doctors now believe there has to be a combination of triggers present for an attack to start.
If you can identify and remove one or more of your personal trigger factors, you may be able to stop having migraine attacks for good. There is no justice in migraine, and there are no hard and fast rules about who gets it and who doesn't. But there are recognizable patterns that suggest that some people are more at risk than others. Some of the factors are unalterable and constant, yet others are amenable to change. Therefore, removing some of the ingredients from the volatile mixture may help to deactivate your migraine before its fuse goes off.
