No. I was young 5/6 when I started getting them, but at that age, my parents just said I had a headache. I knew it was more than just a headache.

Same here, I got shocking migranes as a kid, stopped for years. Only had a few since my mid 20's thankfully.

Ant, the person in question is "ba boom tsssh" himself lol

I have only known one person who had Migraine attacks. It used to affect him pretty badly and he was unable to do anything much else than to retire to a dark room and stay there until it got better.

It seemed awful to me and I feel sorry for anyone with the problem.

He'll have a migraine from pressing his "sport" button too much then.

I used to get migraine's that would last for days, I would go to sleep with a headache & wake up the next day & still have a headache.

Ended up being my wisdom teeth pushing on a nerve, had to get all four removed.

More likely from pulling something too hard. Apparently his head is even worse now, from watching Liverpool play last night, avid life long fan and all that

As an aside for the guys who do suffer from migranes; go to the doctor and ask for some sumatriptan. After 10 mins the pain goes and you feel normal. The common brand name is Imigran. You can get it over the counter but it costs a bomb and isn't suitable for everybody, so best get a perscription.

Definatly sounds like something worth keeping in the drawer.
It must be potent stiff though surely, to neutralise a migrane. No groggy or tired side effects?

Cheers for the heads up

Hello

No side effects for me but it can in others have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumatriptan

It acts by supressing the dilation of the arteries. When they dilate it causes a pressure build up and hence lots of pain.

Potently stiff has got to be good when you think about it!
