Default Headaches and migraines

Does anyone else suffer from headaches or even migraines? I get migraines from time to time, it's so debilitating. I once got one towards the end of a school day a few years ago and ended up getting off a stop early because I couldn't even see properly and it would have taken longer to wait to get through traffic to my normal stop... I somehow managed to step into a puddle that went halfway up my shin and didn't even notice 'til I got home and my mum was all 'wtf is wrong with you, you're paler than a sheet.'

If I'm getting a migraine I take out my contact lenses, pop a couple of headache tablets and have to sleep it off. It's actually horrible. I had a faint spell at the gym two days ago and had a headache all day, and woke up with one this morning, it sucks!

I get migraines about once a year. I wouldnt wish them on my worst enemy.

Will never forget one I had about 7 years or so ago, even though it seems ages away. I was in on my own, I ended up lying face down in the garden, spewing up, couldnt get up because I lost pretty much all of my left sider to tingling and I couldnt feel it at all. My dad got in from work about 3 hours later, picked me up, I promptly threw up all over him. I couldnt even speak so I tried to write down what I was saying, but it all made sense to me, looked at it the next day and it looked like a toddler had tried to write, all gibberish. My dad thought I had had a stroke but I was perfectly fine a few hours later :S

I think I get them more severe than most people. My mate used to get them but he could still function with one. But Im absolutely useless until it goes

I would get them more often if I didnt learn the signs of one coming on. I swear by migraleve...expensive but its the only thing that works on me. I take one as soon as my arm starts to tingle and 9/10 it stops it before the pain hits.

I've only ever had sinusitis (which is ten times worse), but I don't think I've had migraines before. I have headaches a lot though, quite regular because I drink a lot of caffeine and when I stop drinking it I have withdrawals and get pounding headaches and I'm on the computer a lot. But I have my trusty codeine tablets to get me through it
