My experience-suggestions for how to learn about and manage newly onset migraines?

---

I'm 32 and just started having migraines a few months ago. I have a strong maternal family history of migraines, and a personal history of a million stress/tension headaches.

I'm grateful there's so much information out there, I want to learn about it, but it's this giant mountain that seems insurmountable. I understand everyone is different and there are a billion triggers and ways to manage (part of the complication of this disorder) but if you had any advice on steps I should take, things I should learn about, and any particular order, what would that be? What makes it more manageable to learn about?

So far, I've tracked my migraines on MigraineBuddy, spoken to my PCP who would like me to schedule an MRI to rule out anything more nefarious, have started on Migravent, and have a few doses of Sumatriptan on hand (new, haven't used it yet). I'm trying to stay hydrated, get enough-ish sleep, and not radically change my caffeine intake (1-2 cups of coffee a day).

Just.... At what point do I start altering my diet? Switching supplements? Seeing a neurologist?? What's necessary and what's not? Help 🥺
