The majority of migraines are the curse of being a woman. The migraines also differ in kind and severity. Oh foolish woman, you thought a migraine was a migraine? Contare' my love. Some people have the worse kind with noise, light, movement, virtually everything makes it more severe. It's totally debilitating for the poor soul. Call a time out because horizontal, bed, no movement, nothing. Bliss is if they can doze off. It's the only relief. Well, other than the drugs that will knock out a horse. It seems most medicine loses effect when these kind of migraines happen.
On the other end of the spectrum is the throbbing headache, the hard to focus. She can stand light but not bright lights. She can stand sound but soft sounds. Nausea or vertigo may or may not be associated with the low end. Aspirin or Excedrin in normal dose won't touch it. Loaded with a mild tranquilizer and quadruple the amount of Aspirin or Excedrin will give relief on the mild migraines. If there is such a thing as mile migraine. Some people have them in clusters, one right after another over a period of days. Others have them infrequently.
As much as medical science knows, migraines are still a mystery. I strongly suspect it is like looking at a forest and thinking they are all the same kind of tree. A tree is a tree, right? And so it is with migraines, they aren't the same and they aren't triggered by the same problem.
