No, but someone I know gets them.

Isn't a migraine just another name for a headache?

Unfortunantly migraines run in my family. My maternal great-great grandma, & my great grandma used to have really bad migraines. The curse skipped my grandma, was passed on to my mom and myself, plus my brothers daughter too. I hope my sisters' daughter doesn't get them. For my bros' daughter, she was struck with the migraine curse from both her mom AND dads' sides.

I got my first migraine at 11, and had my most recent one 5 days ago. I don't get them as often as some sufferers do, but this month I've had 2 migraines, each lasting 3 days. That's one reason I don't like summer, I'm far more prone to migraines in the summer heat than any other time of year. Oh well...que sera sera!

Callme, I hate that too. One time I got a migraine at work, outta the blue, so I asked my then manager if I could go home. The little ignorant 17 year old said, "When I see you getting a headache, I'll let you go home." I widened my eyes. "You mean you can see in to my head and tell when I'm getting a MIGRAINE, not a headache!?" (Very sarcastically of course.) He glared at me and said he should write me up for insubordination. (I think he tried to use a big word to impress me, LOL). I told him to Google "difference between migraines and headaches," then that I was leaving and I hoped he had a "lovely rest of his shift", (******* didn't get the sarcasm the second time!)
