I have done a lot of tests myself every time I start when the migraine start with the signs and symptoms. I even stop the banana eating chocolate eating no citrus etc.
The migraine still visit me. I come to the conclusion it is stress. If I can not get rid of my frustrations it build up and come to outburst as a migraine. I grow up in the Fire rescue and paramedic area where you had to perform if you want to get to the top. After 1992 I was born again and my life change. I try not to be rude to people under me and end up with a lot of frustrations.
The only way to keep the veins open to my brain is by skydiving and found hobbies where I can release a lot of adrenaline in my body.
It work for me after two freak incidents with skydiving and I decided to stop, the migraines is visiting me again.
I try not to use any medicine as the results is reducing your life time on earth. Currently I use herbs and make my own herbal tea with honey. I am eating what I want and control the migraine by getting rid of the build frustration without using the "F" word it is working but it is a daily exercise to prevent another attack.
It will sound like a cowboy story but it work for me.

I'm not really a train wreck.Maybe a 2 vehicle MVA with multiple patients,but not the train wreck category yet.

LOL
I did not call you a mass casualty incident
I did not tell you to call in mutual aid
but you should call in a few specialists (like the bomb squad or hazmat team or deep water rescue ;-)

The bomb squad or SWAT would probably be the best thing.

Don't you get potassium from bananas?Whoops,wrong dicussion.Maybe you can get it from RICE.

Even though all their blood work is within normal limits - before supplements
My one friend takes a potassium supplement every day
2nd friend takes B6& B12
3rd friend takes Vitamin E and C and Calcium and Magnesium
4th friend takes iron
all have worse migraines without them
I think out U.S. health care system lacks knowledge of the vitamin and mineral needs of the human body - so the doctors guess a lot - and the patients must experiment alot. I say find what works... for you...
YOU ARE THE EXPERT ON YOU - NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER BE ABLE TO KEEP UP - OR CATCH UP !!!

It's all good... I am used to having such exclamations of delight (and fear) when one is under my care or in my presence
no apology needed

Does "Get off me!" count as an exclamation of delight cause that is the one I am most used to hearing!

oh yeah !!! SWAT much better choice.
I remember many times (5,000 +/- 1000 times) being so sick I would have cut my own head off if I could just manage breathing sufficiently enough to manage the task.
hey - cold, dark, and quiet are nice support options to manage the symptoms - I found those giant walk-in coolers or walk-in freezers are nice... if you have one of those nearby (restaurants, florist, morgue - whatever works)
