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 hit my head both times, but the last I was knocked unconscious. I have a genetic thing that tends to bring the migraines on once there's some kind of head trauma. The neuro told me he felt I had post concussional syndrome from both. I also have trigeminal neuralgia and tmj which all set each other off. Then add a hemmorage by the pituitary and you can see why they never end. Where is the majority of your pain located @Peanut?
