Migraines start around puberty and extend to age 55 or 60.
Mine were weekly with a grade 10 at least once a month A 10 migraine involved agony accompanied by throwing up. Besides 12 aspirin a day temporary relief did come from very hot water being sprayed on the head in an orbital fashion. Doing that at 3 AM was inconvenient. It should be called a migraine event since there is excitement prior to and a fogginess 2 days after. It is said cluster headaches are worse. There were times I plowed through a migraine whether I was driving or sailing or I would not have had much of a life despite the extreme pain.

Bright light (even laser light) seemed to be a trigger.
But now I'm FREE.
