Can you Outline a stepwise approach to treating migraines?

Migraines are a source of mystery for doctors. But, eating well, getting excersize, drinking enough water, sleeping well and caffeine are all considered good ways to avoid them. If you are not a caffeine user then don't start, but you can take caffeine at the first sign of a migraine to head it off. The drug will act on the blood vessels that change size when you have a migraine. If you are a caffeine user, don't stop. Cutting off the drug can cause a migraine. If you want to cut back (which might be a good idea) talk with your doctor first and do it slowly. Hope this helps!
