I had migraines frequently from childhood until about my sophomore year in high school. In middle school I occasionally had several a month. This is not the phony "Oh I can"t meet you for lunch, I have a migraine" excuse the ignorant use. This is rolling on the ground, moaning in agony, wishing you were DEAD real type of migraine. But I haven"t had a migraine headache since my late teens. About once a year I"ll get what a doctor called a "migraine attack" which is very much like the effects of a stroke (numbness on one side, tunnel vision, slurred speech, unable to recognize faces, sort of "cubist"-looking field of vision) and lasts for several hours, followed by a relatively mild headache over the next couple days, but nothing like what I experienced as a kid.
