Prevention of Fibro Flare Up

I had a migraine start last Monday and tried to tough it out with a few hydrocodon and phenegren.  It got worse so I broke down and went to th ER four days later and that nasty lady doc was there. I still have the stabbing pain behind my left eye, it won't go away.  Thank God it was put in my charts that I was to be givin stadol for migraines.  She only gave me 1mg but at that point I didn't care just needed some relief.  She took 1 and a half hours to get to me.  I really though about slaming my hand in the freakin door just to stop thinking about my head and eye.  Now, a few days later my fibro has flared up bad in my neck and shoulders.  The 750mg robaxin helps some.  I have tried every triptain in the book and no help there for the migraines.  My question is, after a tramatic ordeal like my last migraine, is there anything  I can do to prevent the flare ups?  I am still on my neurontin twice a day.  Thanks for any ideas!

How much neurontin?  I had to reach 1800 mg/day (600 3x/day) before I got any pain relief.
