I also discovered the dive / ice water reflex sometimes helped my migraine. The reason I tested it is because caffeine supposedly releases some chemicals related to the same chemicals that are released when you vomit. Since my migraines always ceased after vomiting, I used these other methods to induce the same chemical response in the brain.

I now keep Excedrin migraine on hand (has caffeine). However, my migraines completely ceased after I stopped using nasal steroid spray and started with an allergy nasal spray.

I underwent allergy treatment that stopped working, so I decided to try steroid medication. After about four days, I began experiencing unusual migraines every day. I had migraines before, but they always came with a headache. However, with the steroids, I started getting just very strange optic auras. Everything began to sparkle out of nowhere, becoming more intense until I had to close my eyes. The symptoms stopped once I discontinued the steroid treatment.
