Yes

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!

I've had that too. The first week is so painful. They give me 30+ injections all over the head and neck. And while the botox is starting to work, it's the worst pain.
