Migraines and what triggers one

I've had 2 migraines this week and I'm starting to this it's either from an allergy medicine I've started taking, or as weird as this sounds, a new coffee creamer.
What triggers a migraine in your case ?

My trigger was aspartame, the most common artificial sweetener. I eliminated it, and I don't have them anymore.
eta: There is a good chance the creamer has an artificial sweetener in it.

My mom has them and too much chocolate will set hers off, since she has started watching this she hasn't had one in a long time.

Alcohol triggers mine. Sometimes a few as 2 beers can cause one for me.

Migraines aren't real, they're just another exuse used by bitchy woman who don't want to have sex.
They're the same as fibromialgia. (I don't give a shite about correctly spelling fictional disorders)

Probably the medicine.
Usually a sudden change from what your body is used to. Stop drinking coffee (cold turkey) after 3, 4 or more cups a day, your body misses the regular caffeine intake.
Mine is bright lights... and missing out on coffee.

I get horrible migraines. Like, requiring a shot in the butt and narcotic painkiller bad. Mine are hormonal.
Artificial sweetener is a major cause of migraines, though, so there's every chance it is indeed your new creamer.

I've thought a stressful event or bright lights and loud noises triggered some of mine. Really, I have no clue. They don't happen often enough anymore to figure out a trigger. Good luck.

My wife(38 no pics)got to where she was having them pretty regular. Her doc put her on Topamax. They kept on and she was referred to a neurologist. They did a scan and found an aneurysm. She had that fixed and no more issues.

I had 3 last year all within 2 weeks. Caused by needing glasses/contacts and not realizing it. Went to the eye doc and got a prescription. Haven't had one since.
First one scared the shut out of me though. Started seeing prisms all around the outside of my vision, lasted for about an hour and then the headache started.

I've yet to find the exact trigger, though I've narrowed it down to an ingredient in artificial sweet teas (Lipton, brisk, etc.)
It's strange because I've had to live with migraines since 7th grade and they never get better. All I can do now is take my meds when I notice one coming on and find a dark room to shut my eyes.

Mine are usually triggered by stress. I haven't had a migraine in almost 6 months.

You are probably about to start your period. Men don't get migraines. When my head aches it just means I am doing God's will by working hard and he's just reminding me to keep it up.

Sulfites. Usually in aged stuff. Can't eat cheddar or drink red wine. Some dark chocolates trigger them. I get extreme light sensitivity, nausea, and of course the pain. But if I stay away from sulfite high foods I'm golden.

For me it's tied to sleep patterns. I always got them after makeup sleep (cram three nights for an exam with 4 hours rest, then I'd get a migraine upon waking up from a 9-hr slumber after the test).
Good luck. They are miserable.
