For the record, it kills me to be on the computer, but I have to work, and being on yahoo answers makes me look busy, right now I feel like beating the key board on my head to make the pain stop.

hi i have suffered from migrane headaches for the past 19 years. These are the symptoms:
1. real intense pain usually starts in the back of your neck
2. you cannot stand the light!
3. any kind of noise will bother you
4. real bad mood
5. throbbing sharp pain in your forhead
6. most of the time only one eye will hurt you, with real sharp pains
7.nausea
8. vomiting
9. usually you can know its coming from the early morning by just the way you have this minor pain in your back ( you will be able to tell once you get to know them well.
if this is what you have i have not found anything better then excedrin or any generic version of it works as well. also getting massaged is what helps me relieve them faster too. just massaging will not do the excedrin has to be the kind that has caffeine and asprin combined. i really hopw this works for you they are really hard to live with. but once you find the reason of what triggers it you will get them less often (like some kind of dairy or something.good luck!

It can start with visual disturbance (some people get this only) then the head does not want to be moved as it is so painful, any noise is horrible and a feeling of sickness may also be present. So far I have only ever had visual disturbance in my left eye which on the first occasion was distressing. My sister gets full blown migraine and she has to lay down in a darkened room and it could be 2-4 days before she can surface. My niece also has them but generally when she is under pressure.
It is suggested that chocolate, citrus fruits or stress can trigger a migraine. Personally I think if you are susceptible then you will have them.
Hope you do not get them too badly Good luck.

If you had a migraine, you wouldn't be typing.
I had one in my lifetime. It woke me up at 3 am and a pain like nothing I've ever felt began in the back of my head and it hurt so bad I couldn't cry and when I tried to move, it felt like the only thing that would alleviate the pain was to chop my head off.
I tried to drink some water and within minutes, I began projectile vomitting. I ended up passing out from the pain. I couldn't talk and there was drool coming out of my mouth. Forget about crying from the pain because that would have caused my head to move and that would have been way too painful.
I kept thinking that I needed someone to chop my head off because it was so painful.
If you are having a headache like bands around your temples then that is a tension headache.
If it is around the eyes and radiates from behind the eyes then it is a "cluster headache".
If you had a migraine, you'd be in a room in the dark not communicating.

Some symptoms of a migraine can include, nausea, vomiting, extreme sensitivity to light and noise. Some of the best solutions I have found to work for me, is bed rest in a darkened quiet room, warm wash cloth on the forehead or the back of the neck. The best over the counter medication I have used is Excedrin Migraine. Hope this helps and you feel better soon.

I suffer from migraines.
Some symptons that I get are, visual disturbances ie floating objects. Extremem sensitivity to light and noise. Feeling the need to vomit. Pulsing pain that makes me feel like my head is going to explode.
I know one thing, there is no way I could be on the computer if I was having a migraine. Doesnt mean you arent, but no way I could.

I do not get migraines, but my daughter has suffered with them for several years and she is only 17. She often feels nauseated, and will have everything go black as if she passes out for a few seconds. She has had blurred vision, and I believe the sparkly vision you spoke of. She has also had the numbness.

When I am getting one my body gives me a sign, My eye site changes and I have no perrifrial vision for about 10 minutes, and then a migrane comes on. Its really weird, its just a really bad head ache that cant be cured with reagulr OTC meds. If you think you have them you should see your doctor, they will run some tests and then give you some really good medicine.

nausea, not uncommon to see spots, lightning bolts, or stars, aka: aura, some people literally lose their ability to focus their eyes (I do) for some of the onset of the headache.
shaking, vomiting, splitting pain in the temples, extreme sensitivity to light
Footnote to fellow migraine sufferers: I have been taking PROPRANOLOL for 3 yrs and it has helped immensely. It works for me...and I encourage you to ask your Dr about if it will work for you!!
