I've had migraines since I was 9 also my parents just didn't understand until I was sitting in 3rd grade and raised my hand and told the teacher I was going blind and started throwing up. The parents in my class called the school to see what was going on.My parents had to take me out of school till they got it under control. Im 65 and have had them 10 to 20 times a month There was medication out there but it has never worked I managed to work for 30yrs I would put my head down in a dark room Ive learned over the years that food especially high by products with alot of additives and caffeine have something to do with my migraines Thank you for letting me share my story some of it at least
