Since I’m 11, I’ve had these horrible migraines. By the time I was 15, I had one almost every week.
They were terrible, the pain was unlike anything else I’ve went through in my life. One side of my body went numb, I became dislexic for part of its duration. Most of the times I also threw up. When I started seeing the aura that preceded the migraine, I knew I had to get home or to my hotel bedroom fast before the worst symptoms kicked in.
With age they became less frequent, but the symptoms became even worse. By now, in my 40s, I only get it about twice a year, so it’s simple to handle.
I’m a men. My father also has them but very rarely now that he is older.
The holy grail for people like us, would be a pill to take when the migraine starts that would reduce the severity (there is one, but doesn’t work with the aura variant I and my father have).
