Drinking coffee on a regular basis can increase severity or frequency but the neurologists says if you don’t drink it on a regular basis you can use it to treat a migraine.

caffeine helps
Caffeine for sure
Fioricet tabs have caffeine in them so yes, it’s the caffeine
It is said caffeine enhances the effects of pain medications (including OTC ones).
Doesn’t help me unfortunately. Makes me throw up
It constricts the blood vessels, which makes it harder for blood to rush through. Same reason why ice packs provide relief
It doesn’t relieve it for me but it helps me to get through it
Caffine restricts blood vessles( it’s a depressant) and migraines are blood vessels that swell and press upon nerves in the brain
Doesn’t relieve mine
Makes mine worse
Has absolutely no effect on mine. If I abstain… no effect. If I drink more… no effect. I’m also the person that can drink a couple cups of coffee right before bed and still be asleep in less than a minute.
Because of the vasoconstriction and it raises the blood pressure a little, some of us need both those things to relieve migraines. I also have POTS.
