I suffered migraine from 20 years old until past 60 years old. Trying many meds until finally Imitrex was developed along the way and it helped. Mine came on with an aura in the right temple and what looked like broken glass. They usually lasted 3 to 4 days with vomiting. I'm now 80. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt Syndrome which has caused severe headaches, not as bad as migraine but BAD. Dr. prescribed Topiramate 100 mg at bed time and it has worked. I sincerely believe nothing has ever hurt as bad as the migraines I had when I was young, they were truly debilitating. When I hear of someone having a true migraine my heart aches for them. I wish all of you are able to get help.
