Living with Migraine
My Life with Migraine Disease and Headaches !
The first time I remember having a Migraine attack was when I was six years old.
At the time, I didn’t realize what it was. There were these spots floating around in my vision that I couldn’t see through.
Then my head started hurting so badly that I began to cry. Crying just made it worse. It was a summer day, and the light coming through the window in my bedroom hurt my eyes, so I closed the curtains and buried my face in my pillow.
I couldn’t stay that way long because I needed to vomit. My father brought a large bowl from the kitchen so I didn’t have to get up. Vividly, I remember him wiping my face with a cold cloth and rubbing my back gently until I fell asleep.
My mother had these “headaches,” too. At the age of six, I didn’t really understand them, but I knew my mother would sometimes be in bed with her headaches for days.
My parents have told me that the pediatrician said I was “high-strung” and had Mi- graines like my mother. All they could do was try to give me aspirin and hope I’d go to sleep.
