The dark cloth happens with the medicine as well. I guess there might be other symptoms you avoid with the meds.David McPhersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-91636160458652603672010-06-17T15:08:04.065-04:002010-06-17T15:08:04.065-04:00I had migraines for years, two or three times a we...I had migraines for years, two or three times a week, even as a young girl. I had brains scans taken . All kinds of tests done, and nothing showed. Now that I am older and have gone through my changeI hardly ever have them anymore. So girls you do have something to look forward too, when you get older.

I'm so sorry you get them. Really, I am. I had a mild one descending yesterday that, thankfully, didn't come to anything.

They popped up in college, and my trigger was (so odd, but here it is) getting a ton of sleep after a period of bad sleep deprivation. Weird huh?<br />And I got the shimmery aura in my field of vision. I'd freak out because I wouldn't be able to see stuff. Just thinking about it makes me nauseated.Lydia Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484415427764822386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471107802247799161.post-2019527388664339922010-06-16T08:26:21.918-04:002010-06-16T08:26:21.918-04:00I know what you mean--and speaking of weird trigge...I know what you mean--and speaking of weird triggers, mine is anise.
