I am one of those unfortunate souls who suffer with migraines. They use to be so bad I would have to go to the ER and get a shot in the ass. When I would wake up with one I had to stay in the dark. I put blankets on the windows. No matter what I took for them they would not go away. I would feel like I had to throw up. The only relief I would get was when I slept. But as soon as I woke up it came back. They would stay all day. After alot of testing the doctor found out what was wrong. It turned out it was the birth control pills I was on. I went off of those and now I don't have migraines anymore.
