I receive, on average, one crippling painful migraine a week, along with a few regular headaches, and I used to receive one literally paralyzing one a month that would render me unable to move any muscle in my body. Ibuprofen is the greatest godsend I've ever had, but it's the most hit or miss thing. Sometimes I'll take 800mg and it will have only enough effect to allow me to continue working in pain, and sometimes 400mg will make it melt completely. Sometimes the addition of caffeine helps, sometimes it makes it worse.
