Migraine
How many of you suffer Migrain episodes? I'm one of the "lucky" ones. Doctor hardly have helped me, the only ones doing something good, had prescribed me good analgesic, but nothing to stop the pain appearing again.
After years of suffering it, I finally realized the triggers for my case, knowing it has been better than any kind of medicine. Now people is telling me what I've already discovered, but honestly I haven't seen any kind of research in Migraine prevention.
Has anyone an experience with migraine that wants to share? Does someone knows about serious research about migraine prevention?

Yes, I suffer occasional migraine - not often thankfully (maybe one or two a year).
What really irritates me is people with a bad headache saying 'I have a migraine'. My response is normally the same - "No, you don't, really, you don't, otherwise you would not be talking to me."
I get migraine with aura. The first sign of an attack is that I loose vision - I don't go blind but I can't consciously 'see' - it's very difficult to describe. After about 30-60 minutes of this, a blinding headache sets in, usually with severe nausia - sometimes vomiting. This lasts for 4-6 hours during which time the only thing possible is to lie-down. It then gradually 'goes away' over a period of 30 mins or so, after which my vision is normal and there are no other symptoms.
The first time it happened to me I was teaching a class. I suddenly realised that I couldn't see the board. Fortunately one of my colleagues drove me home before the headache started. Once that started then I thought I was going to die - in fact I was hoping I would at one stage.
I know some of my 'triggers' and avoid them like the plague (which is unfortunate because I used to love Port and Stilton).
Wiki has a good article on the matter with some links to research and support organisations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migraine

Yes, it comes once in a while... Not causing much problems but ruins some good times.
I think I used to having it, as I've not experience it for a year now. You know, you know it coming when you see striking lights moving and some area you cant see like partial view. Sometimes scents or food can trigger it. But what I've learnt is that I noticed that when I experience migraine, the temperature of my head scalp is high..so what I used to do back then is to wash my head pop a pill and when straight to bed. And the you get this throbbing ache usually on one of your head side.
But I started taking this sea cucumber liquid two years ago and thank god I've not experience it again.I also fix the night before a rock sugar+rice soaked overnight and drink the water the next morning to cool off my head.

i couldn't tell the difference between a regular headache and migraine before... I suffer from a headache more often than from migraine - am I a lucky one or what?!
