Migraines... Ugh

Have y'all ever had a migraine? If you haven't, I sincerely hope you never have one. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy (I don't really have enemies though...). It is seriously the worst pain in the world. I had one last night and I still feel absolutely awful. I hate when people tell me that migraines are "just bad headaches," because it is SO much worse than that. My mom has had migraines all her life and, lucky me, they're hereditary. Mine are brought on by stress and I probably have about 1-3 a month. I had my first migraine when I was 9 years old. I specifically remember it because I was at gymnastics practice and when I looked at people, I couldn't see their mouths. I know that sounds weird, but ocular disturbances are the way that mine start. Sometimes I can't see people's eyes/mouths, sometimes I get flurries around the corners of my vision, and sometimes I can't see words when I look at them. Sometimes my hands will even go numb. Once I notice my first ocular disturbance, I've got about 30 minutes before the pain really sets in. In that time, I NEED to get my prescribed migraine medicines or else all hell will break loose. Even with my medicine, a night with a migraine means a night of laying in pitch black darkness in the complete silence feeling nauseous with a hot rag on my forehead. Whatever you were doing, you're done. Whatever you needed to do, it's not happening tonight. It is pure misery. It also means I will have a migraine "hangover" for the next two days, where my head is always dully throbbing and anytime I bend over or turn my head I get this sharp pain through my brain. I really wish there was some type of permanent cure for migraines, but there really and truly isn't. My future with migraines is looking far too promising.
