Nearly 30 million people in the United States have migraines, and three times as many women as men have them. Migraines are pulsating headaches, often on one side of the head. Physical activity may intensify the pain, but symptoms can vary from person to person and from one attack to the next.

I get them, about one a year or so. I usually start with a little headache, then my stomach gets upset, and then whammo!

A few years ago I had an ocular migrain which was about the worst thing possible. I was seeing flashes and bright lights and felt like I was going blind. My Dr said they're brought on by stress.

Go figure.

I get the jagged lines flashing at the edge of my vision first, then the queasiness and pain. Been a long time since I had one, thankfully.
