Had one this morning, really bad with pain on both sides of my head which messed up my vision. Could not raise my head at all, three nurofen and that didn't touch it. Had to have a friend drop of some migralievs(?) took two pinks and then it started. Puking up so much i was air puking and i finally fell asleep and woke up two hours later feeling like a hangover. I get them rarely, just nasty ones with vision loss on occasion however i did wonder why i was still peppy at 2.30am!
Mum gets them a lot worse than i do and more often and i understand what she goes through, she has a hole in her heart and does end up with paralitic migrains. So anyone else here suffer from them?

This isn't a doctor/hospital advice thread!!!!!!
I know this was originally posted years ago but this is important: Migraines, as a rule, occur on one side of the head or the other, not both at the same time.
I didn't know this and i was (mis)diagnosed with having migraines. Two years later, it wasnt until i ended up in hospital that i learned it wasnt migraines at all. I was suffering with hypertension headaches. I spent a week in hospital having all kinds of test, being poked and prodded. 24/7 monitoring....hospital food. I'm so glad i went when i did, i doubt i'd still be here otherwise. OH if you're wondering
how I found it it was related to my BP, it was after i booked an emergency appointment with my GP after 4 days of solid headache and no sleep and he measured my BP at 260/160. That's not a typo. Now I'm now on all sorts of BP meds, no clear indication of
why my BP sky rocketed and i have an enlarged heart as a result of spending probably 2 years with a BP that would kill most people.
So yes. If you suffer regularly with headaches, no matter what they are, just get it checked out. DON'T
put up with it, even if you have already seen your GP etc.
