I have the common migraine, not the classic one - I don't get the auras.

Man oh man....I've had migraines since I was a child. I NEVER had the auras until about 3 years ago....then all of a sudden WHAM! The first time it happened I was convinced that I had a brain tumor...it was terrifying!
I don't get them every time I get a migraine...but I do get them maybe every 3rd time.
One thing I like about them is that they are sort of like my early warning system....the aura comes at least 1/2 hour to 45min. BEFORE the real pain of the migraine starts.....just enough time to get the meds in the system before it gets so bad you can't keep anything down.
I feel for ANYONE who gets migraines...I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy....well....maybe Saddam.
Let me know if you find anything naturopatic to take for migraines! I'd be very interested.

As a matter of fact, my poor son Josh has inherited migraines from me...boohooo.....but most of the time he waits until it's too late to let me know he has one and then the meds won't stay down.
So if you see anything about treating kids with migraines shoot it my way!
