GGB,
I drink a ton of water a day and the only diuretic I drink is one cuppa coffee and one half beer a day. Usually I drink about 2 liters a day.
However, Wed I took the girls to the zoo and didn't drink as much as I should have, then we went to the county fair that night--I know, I'm crazy but we'd been housebound for the last week due to the heat and the high was 80 degrees that day, so I crammed it all in. The baby nursed like crazy cause SHE was out all day, so it probably played a big part. It's hard to make up that extra fluid loss when someone else is stealing all of it away from you!

I have never been able to pinpoint why I get them. Sometimes it can be something innocent like putting a ponytail in and bam! there it is. Suckers last for a couple days, too.
My sister and mom get them too so it is probably something hereditary. You know, something I've never done is get a prescription for them. I'm not one for drugs. If anyone has any good migraine drug advice, let er rip.

Gotta go get ready for our beach adventure. You working dads really miss out on some fun times. Those are my shades I will need for the adventure today.

Take care all....
