From your mouth to GlaxoSmithKline’s* corporate ear, Kalhoun. As someone who spends 12-17 days out of every 30 hunkered down with an ice pack and a $16 pill, that breakthrough can’t come soon enough for me.
I was going to say “God’s,” but after 30 years of these things, I worship at the alter of the big pharmaceuticals.
If you get one or two a year, it might be nice to have some Imitrex or other triptan on hand (or whatever abortive might be appropriate for you), but really, I wouldn’t be too concerned. I would definitely discuss it with your doctor if you haven’t already. One other thing I would suggest is to see if you can figure out if you have a specific trigger that might be causing them. It might be something you can avoid.
Since everyone seem to be sharing their stories, here’s mine:
I’ve had migraines ever since I was 3, probably earlier, but I remember having them at 3. I wasn’t diagnosed until college (I actually diagnosed it myself), and I didn’t start seeing a neurologist for treatment until I was about 30 when I started to have 3 or 4 a month on a fairly regular basis. A year ago January, 3 or 4 a month transitioned to migraine with chronic daily headache. I now average 20 days of migraine a month. Luckily when the frequency went up, the intensity went down. I probably only have really horrible ones about once a week at this point. But there’s a low grade one most days at least part of the day.
My triggers are hard to tie down. I’ve never been ablt to tie them to a particular food. Low blood sugar will set one off, though. Hot, humid weather will set them off gurarantted, so I don’t go out much in the summer during the day. Severe changes in barometric pressure is a contributing factor for me.
I’ve had MRIs and EEGs, and all is clear. My migraines bounce from side-to-side, which indicates that it’s biochemical rather than structural, if that makes sense.
I’ve probably tried 15 different preventatives over the years. Currently I’m on Nortriptyline and Zanaflex. Imitrex is my main abortive, and I take Norco (like Vicodin) as well, but it only takes the edge off.
I’m currently working with one of the best neurolists for headaches in my area to try to get these under control, and I recently started seeing a pain management psychologist to help me with managing the stress, and to learn better coping strategies.
Finally, here’s a link to one of my favorite migraine info sites: http://www.migraines.org/
I can remember having them as a child, too. Not quite 3, but I can remember going to the nurse’s office in elementary school with an awful headache, feeling like I was going to throw up, and just wanting to lie down and sleep. She’d give one of those orange chewable aspirins and send me back to class. It was just agony. 
I have no real advice for the OP - you sound like you’re doing just fine - but in any thread about migraines I feel compelled once again to note that, in addition to “regular” migraines, there is something called “cluster headaches” that have certain similarities to migraines, but need to be treated differently. And, I also need to note that while 75% of migraine sufferers are female, NINETY PERCENT of cluster sufferers are male - which means that the rare female who gets clusters is a lot less likely to be correctly diagnosed.

I’m a migraineur, hubby is a cluster sufferer. I’d rather have the migraines, thanks. Clusters are frequently referred to by doctors as “suicide headaches.”
