Hi, newbie here. Just wanted to give my 2 cents, I have yet to try busting but so far I have found ginger tea has helped enormously for 'shadows' - it almost completely eliminated the lasting headache after an attack. It seems to be helping reduce the pain during a spike too, which for me is usually a slow ramp up from 5/10 pain to 7/10 pain over the course of about 3 hours.
