Seventh grade attack

I will never forget my first migraine. I was in Mr. Osborne's 7th grade math class in my junior high school. I remember going up to his desk and telling him I needed to go to the nurse. He told me to sit back down. I said I was going to vomit on his desk if he didn't let me go to the nurse. He finally agreed.

I got to the nurse's office. She took one look at me and called my mom immediately. My mom told me when she got there it looked like I had made a paste of flour and water and put it all over my face, that's how pale I was, which is pretty pale considering I'm pretty pale-skinned.

I just remember agonizing head pain, and extreme nausea, it was the worst headache that I had ever had experienced in my 12 years. Unfortunately, that was merely the beginning of my migraine journey. I had a pretty good doctor at the time, but all they could give me at that point was a heavy anti-inflammatory. Getting proper treatment for the migraines took many years beyond the diagnosis time.
