Yep, Im another one who grew up with them, the whole works, visual disturbances, numbness, cant speak, vomiting, and would take about a week to recover, I also got them in clusters, one after another after another, until I wanted to end my life.

I kept diaries to pinpoint what I ate, drank etc, but nothing was obvious.

I tried every medication available, even had to inject myself at Ł30 a shot, but nothing helped, they took over my life completely.

I then asked for meds that would prevent them, so I started on a few, antihistamines, betablockers, but then I got my life back.........

I started on Amitriptyline, and I havent had one in 4 years!!

So please dont suffer girls, there might be something out there that might prevent them for you too.
