Anyone who hasn't suffered a migraine really has no idea just how much pain and suffering this form of headache causes. Having to lock yourself away in a darkened room, the nausea and vomiting are all part of a migraine sufferers life. But there is hope.
Migraines are experienced more frequently by women than men. Episodes typically last from 4 to 72 hours and are characterised by severe one sided pulsating headaches, nausea, vomiting and strong sensitivity to light and sound.
If this is your experience and you haven't been properly diagnosed then you may want to seek professional help. Taking standard painkillers isn't the best way to manage migraines.
