MIGRAINES!

I've been having migraines for almost 21 yrs now - since the birth of my second son. The number of migraines that take place have significantly decreased since moving away from a lot of stressors 11 yrs ago.

I definitely have a strong aura. I know when my vision starts that I have about 20 minutes to get somewhere safe. I tend to go to my room where it is peaceful and not so bright. I use an ice wrap around my neck to slow the blood flow as well as turn my fan on. Meds as needed and depending on severity.

Cruel and I have a 15 yr old son that has been having migraines for the last 5-6 yrs. He regularly sees a pediatric neurologist. He takes medicine as a preventative as well as onset.

Our son and I are both very sensitive to bright lights, flashing lights, and scents.
