I get migraines too, but they seem to be linked to my eyes. The pain is behind my eyeballs and forehead and I get them when I'm tired, have sinus congestion, squint too much (from sun or not wearing my glasses), or during a bout of (easily triggered) motion sickness.

Luckily I respond to the caffeine/acetaminophen combination but I worry about the long-term effects of using those drugs - going on 10 years now. Those rare occasions that Excedrin doesn't work I make sure to use a neti pot on my sinuses, do some self-massage on my face and neck and can usually sleep it off.
