Hey, I just want to talk to other people who have migraines and get a little more information on them.

My migraines didn't start until I was 19. I am 21 now, and i'm currnently in the aura phase of my fourth one. Blessedly, they don't happen often and i' not normally debilitated for half the day. I'm lucky. Mine normally last 3-4 hours, with rest. I can't do anything during my migranes, except lay around in pain. The nausea isn't too bad for me, but I am mildly sensitive to light and majorly sensitive to head movement.

I get a lovely warning system as well, that starts the classic 30 minutes before hand. First, I get a blind spot on the right side of my head; it's always the same side, although where the blid spot is varies. Still, it nromally ends up obscuring about half my vision, alwys on the left. The sport then turns into sparkly zig-zag lines, and the vision improves a little. The zig zags then fade slowly, and the headache will come in, on the left side of my head, near the front.

My migranes have all been exactly the same, though completely random in appearance... As far as I can tell. I haven't been bothering to calculate if they have all occoured before my period. This one has; my period is due tomorrow. But it's probably just coinicdence.

There is no other corolation between the migraines, and i'm not on any medication for them. Three identical headaches just wasn't enough to go on I guess, and I don't think four will be either. My mother doesn't believe that they're migraines.

My first one, I was just sitting, watching a videogame. Second time, it was 10:00 pm when I noticed the aura, so I just went to bed. I was looking at a computr screen at the time. Third time, I was in class. It was a cinema class, but I don't remeber if we watched anything. Now this time, I was asleep and woke up already in the blind-spot phase! So i'd almost be willing to say that screens cause them, except that this one, and possibly the class one, are exceptions. Also, I look at a lot of screen all the time; if that was the trigger I should be debilitated everywhere, and i'm not.
