I do too; they have at times been debilitating. I’ve found no prescription drug works better than marijuana. There is also a significant hormonal component to migraines. Women have 2-4x as many migraines as men — an effect that is also seen in trans women who are taking estrogen, which indicates that it’s probably hormones rather than genetic. Not ruling out a dietary component, but it’s obviously a complex set of symptoms with likely dozens of contributing factors.

After trying some prescription drugs I've also found Marijuana works the best for me. It's the difference between lying on the bathroom floor waiting to throw up and being semi-functional (I am pretty stoned, so not totally functional) around the house. I don't think it's a cure so much as a great way to manage the pain while the migraine is at its peak, unfortunately the migraine hangover still lasts for days.
