I've had all types of meds to stop them coming on but none of them have helped :-( I've narrowed down the triggers to tiredness, stress or certain scents/perfumes can trigger one almost instantly.
I don't think people who dont suffer can really identify with the burden or misery a migraine can bring. I am also wondering if they are hereditary as my parents suffer too..? I'm wondering, too, if there will ever be any prevention for me, or if taking the medication ASAP is going to be as good as it gets?!

I suffer with migraines really bad, they make me vomit, can't look at light, tv screen, computer or anything, make me feel all weak and dizzy. Oh the pain lol. Get them probably 3/4 times a month, especially if i eat anything with onion in, literally within 5 mins then BOOM migraine comes on! The best thing I can do is to just sleep in a dark room and take some tabs, sometimes I have to sleep 14+ just to shift it! I'm sure I've heard somewhere that it's hereditary, but I'm not sure. My sister and mum also suffer bad with them. if my mum eats cheese she gets one. Strange horrible things!

Cheese sets mine off too, along with orange juice and red wine used to love red wine.
I get what you mean, I feel like I could sleep for a whole 24 hours after a migraine, they really drain you xx
I get basilar migraines - bizarre as no headache but vertigo, dizziness and (lots of) sickness. Like the hangover from hell-24 hours long. No meds available.
Honestly, the worst part about migraines for me, is the look you get when you've had a day off sick and people just blatantly think you're skiving. Then when you find out other staff just call up and say they've had a migraine 'cos it's a really bad headache'. I just think so many people jump on the skiving bandwagon and use it as an excuse! Sorry to butt in xx
