    Similar story to others here. I used to get migraine's about every 2–4 weeks.

    I had my eyes tested, and even though they are pretty good after a week of headaches from adjusting to them my migraine frequency dropped to about 1 every 12 weeks. I started karate about a year later and the stretching etc. has helped tremendously. I haven't had a migraine in about 2 years now. Shoulder and neck stiffness is definitely something I work on constantly though.

    I've also had what the docs called Histamine headaches on a couple of occasions. Apparently I'm allergic to a very particular, and thankfully rare, type of histamine. Histamine headaches strike extremely suddenly and taken my vision away within 10 seconds, and leave me vomiting for hours. Only extreme doses of anti-histamine will stop me vomiting uncontrollably.

    Keep anti-histamines around at all times, drink plenty of water, exercise and stretch regularly and definitely get your eyes tested.
