If you searching general things to try, curetogether is good website. It provides a list of 237 Migraine interventions and self reported effects of those interventions.
The strongest recommendation seems to be for "Dark Room and No Noise" and "Sleep".
I would seek a 100% dark room when you sleep. Seek to get a regular schedule with 8 hours of sleep where you go to bed every day at the same time.
Floating tanks are worth trying.
I would use good noise cancellation headphones plus guided relaxation/hypnosis recordings to fight cases of headaches in real time when I can't do anything else anyway.
I expect hypnosis to be helpful based as a prior and quick googling finds a peer-reviewed review that suggests it's helpful.
Thanks for the advice. Are floating tanks supposed to be a once in a while thing? Also, I do get a lot of sleep. Part of my coping mechanism for migraines is just sleeping huge amounts in my free time. I'd say it takes up 20-30 hours a week of free time. I looked through the most effective things, and I've tried/do them all. Sadly, I have my A-level exams (used for Uni application) in a month or two, so I'm really hoping that something works soon. I'll try the others though Who knows, they might work! Again, thanks for the advice, its much appreciated.
