I’ve had migraine headaches since age 13. It was sometimes better to keep going than to lay down. Mine with the aura start out with a little flashing blind spot on one side of my field of vision, and the spot grows and grows for a period of about 20 minutes – until the visual flashing zigzag circle has grown outside my field of vision – then the pain starts – can last from hours to over a day – with light sensitivity, sensitivity to smell, nausea, diarrhea, sound sensitivity for a while – (like you are in a tunnel). Even after the worst pain subsides hours and days later, you can still have throbbing pain like if you bend over, or something like that. I got to the point I started to have a phobia about them, when I was in my late 30’s, never knowing when one would hit, where you would be, etc. I got help by taking a beta blocker – still get the aura (visual disturbance, nausea, noise sensitivity), but not the terrible pain. Since menopause it’s better – hormonal for sure. But, I think some times, Mom got dehydrated too, which also probably contributed to it all. They can be TERRIBLE. I recommend a beta blocker to anyone I know that has them. The other meds don’t work that great. Love you – Susan

You're always young in your mind it is said, No matter the face in the mirror, That you see with surprise then say to yourself, "What is that old man doing here?"
