I grew up with migraines. Frequency ranged from once a week to once every few months, with the average being 1 or 2 a month. Mild ones left me sleeping near the toilet. Some were so bad I truly believed I would die, even though I would tell myself I've been through it before..
Then I moved to California (from Oklahoma), and I haven't had a migraine since. In OK I would also get these strange allergy attacks where my nose wouldn't stop running and my head would be stopped up for a day or two, to the point I couldn't concentrate enough to work. Those stopped after I moved as well.
The "allergy level" between the two states isn't significant. OK is a little higher, but not huge. So I think my issues may have been related to specific flora, although doctors never suggested anything like that. I think my favorite line from the blog is:
> Although migraine symptoms have been described since antiquity, doctors still struggle to understand their cause.
