Hope you feel better soon. You really should try the darkened room and resting for as long as you can if at all possible...
My migraines are triggered mostly by stress or the not-restful sleep that accompanies it (exponentially increasing stress only - like exams or a deadline that I have not left myself much time to meet), skipped meals combined with too much coffee and last, but not least, certain types of florescent lighting (the type that seems favoured in sports halls).
I can usually predict them now based on this knowledge - and I have fewer so I might be averting them.
Good luck with working out your triggers. By the way, some people are triggered not by stress but by the relief of stress and also by oversleeping - I think the word balance is key somewhere. ;)
