The violent pain of migraines, described more than 2,000 years ago by the Greek physician Hippocrates, canbe prevented in 40 percent of patients.

Still, only 13 percent of patients use preventative drugs, according to research by the Mayo Clinic.

The success of preventative drugs can be a matter of trial and error, taking up to four weeks to decrease thefrequency and severity of migraines.

Here are the current therapies:

· Antiseizure drugs - Reduce the frequency of migraines, but are shown to have side effects of weakenedbones, tingling in arms and legs, mood problems, among others.

· Antidepressants - Elavil is usually prescribed for people under 65 since it puts the user at risk forirregular heart rhythm. It has been shown to be effective at migraine prevention plus insomnia anddepression.

· Blood pressure medications - Beta blockers have the best track record for preventing migraines. ACEinhibitors are also used.

· Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) - Two studies show the worth of Botox as effective in reducingmigraine frequency. By injection.

In the 1800s, the rolling lawns of the U.S. Capitol were an irresistible target for kids on Easter Monday.One of the few days off for kids and adults, Easter Monday also included lots of leftover hard-boiledeggs. Naturally, the Capitol soon became the site of egg rolls, in which children would compete to seewhose egg could roll farther without breaking. In around 1876, 10,000 kids showed up to egg roll.

According to history.com, the spectacle was so noisy that no business could be done in the House andSenate chambers. By the end of the day, the lawns were in ruin. Outraged Congressmen immediatelywrote legislation protecting the Capitol turf. President Ulysses S. Grant signed the bill two weeks later.A showdown was avoided the next year when rain discouraged the annual invasion of egg rollers. Policediscouraged the children the following year but, to the rescue, came President Rutherford B. Hayeswho, on April 22, 1878, welcomed players to the White House backyard, the first official White HouseEaster Egg Roll.

In those more innocent years, families picnicked on the lawns while the kids rolled eggs, leaving behinddead grass, trash, broken egg shells, and many hidden and -- increasingly smelly -- eggs. Cut to 1937when the annual crowd grew to 50,000 people, inadequately accommodated on the South Lawn. OnlyWWII stopped the event and the increasingly enthusiastic crowds. When the Roll resumed after post-warrationing ended, it began to assume its modern, and much more controlled, form with an egg roll forlittle kids and various activities.

Today, the White House holds a lottery to distribute 35,000 tickets for the Egg Roll. If you win one,get ready for hours of lines and a fairly short experience on the White House lawn, but a very memorablefamily photo.K
