1. Treatment for migraine headaches can relieve the pain and symptoms of a migraine attack -- and prevent further migraine attacks.
Migraines can be treated with 2 approaches: abortive and preventive.
Abortive: The goal of abortive therapy is to prevent a migraine attack or to stop it once it starts. The prescribed medications stop a headache during its prodrome stage or once it has begun and may be taken as needed. Some can be administered as a self-injection into the thigh; others, as a wafer that melts on the tongue. These forms of medication are especially useful for people who vomit during a migraine, and they work quickly.

2. I do not know how. I did take Flonase once and it was horrible. I could not open my eyes and my head was going to explode and I felt a ton of motion sickness. I will never take that vile stuff again.
3. Flonase is a steriod, right? If I'm not mistaken it has everything to do with vaso-dilation and constriction.
As for migraine h/a treatments, dietary is usually a big first line of defense. GEt out the MSG, Chocolate, caffeine and even decaf (the chemicals used in the decaf process are sometimes worse than caffeine itself!) cheese is a biggie to...nitrates and nitrities (deli meats, bacon, hot dogs).
