G'day Connor,  and welcome to our little madhouse.  Sorry you had to come looking for us but here we are and ready to help any way we can.

On the left side of your screen is the button for  Oxygen Info  and this is a beaut place to start.  It's the number one abortive for so many CHeads and so long as you jump onto it at the start of a hit you can expect some great relief.

Another common abortive is Imitrex/Immigran injections and we can show you a trick to get two or even three shots out of the one jab.  The same thing in pill form is often prescribed but not much use because it takes so long to start working,  though the nasal sprays are at least fairly effective if that's all you can get.

A Red Bull type energy drink helps many if guzzled down at the first twinge of a new attack.  Something to do with the caffeine-taurine mix and while they taste awful it's better than doing nothing at all.

As to preventives,  a lot of work has been done here developing a special mix of Vitamin D and other goodies that's showing remarkable success in up to 80% of sufferers who are using it.  Happily,  it also works out to be very cheap.

When it comes to searching for triggers,  it's worth considering a headache diary listing each hit,  where and when and what you'd been doing,  what you'd eaten,  and so on.  Surprising what little gems it can throw up and it will likely be of great help to your headache specialist as well.

However,  the greatest thing you can do is remain positive and your choice of board names suggests you already are.  This is wicked condition we must endure but the more you can stay on top of it,  the less you'll suffer.

Good to have you aboard,

Brian down under.
