on 9/3/2009 Migraines aren't always avoidable unfortunately, and everyone's triggers can be different. This article does a good job of outlining some of the most common offenders. However, keeping a migraine journal to track your dietary and environmental triggers is essential.

Migraine Living (www.migraineliving.com) is a free online journal that automatically tracks and graphs your migraine trends. As a chronic migraineur, I created the site to track and manage my own triggers.

I hope it helps.
