I also get migraines 1 to 3 times a month as for the bad headaches sometimes more than 9 in a month these headaches are not as bad as the migraines but near to it, Natasha I to normally just curl up in the dark waiting in frustration and pain for sleep to come..
A migraine hurts more than any one can imagine. If a person that has never had one says they understand, I explain what one feels like, like this.
The head is to small and everything inside is just to big. the slightest sound hurts and is magnified up to a factor of 10 times what it really is. a pin dropping sounds like a phone ringing, a phone ringing sounds like a fire alarm and thank god I have never heard the fire alarm while in a migraine state.. . lights can be blinding and so excruciatingly painful...
Now Imagine your worst hangover, suddenly starting with little warning, Then magnify that Headache and hangover by 10, throw in some nausea, the blindness that sometimes comes with it, so put a blindfold on, the slightest sounds hurt, so hit yourself repeatedly in the head with a hammer.
Now you can say you have experienced 1/10 the part of what a migraine feels like to those that suffer then and only then can yo usay you understand.
Natasha my deepest sympathies to you, returns the ((((Hug)))) when you have a migraine nothing in life is worse than one that I know of...
Listening to someone repeatedly msg my YM..
