@grace29 @redhatter54 here. I have migraines both with the aura in my left eye and without. I have nausea with both types. They usually last 1 to 3 days. I was diagnosed with my first migraine after my second fall resulting in a concussion. Over the course of 10yrs, I’ve had about 16 concussions due to falling - mainly in the winter on ice or icy patches. I take a preventive med. which helps and then a med when a migraine does hit. I take to my bedroom where I have darkening curtains. I leave my phone in the living room so I don’t hear it if anyone calls. I need everything to be quiet. I get no warning as to when a migraine will come on. @redhatter54
