Most of us, at one time or another, have had a headache. An ache or pain, which might be sharp or dull, concentrated in the forehead and occasionally the back of the head. But a migraine headache is much more severe. Described as a severe throbbing, usually located on one side of the head. Any light or sound makes it worse, and the terrible aching may be accompanied by nausea. The excruciating pain is almost unbearable and the slightest movement only intensifies the pain. Some people even have visual symptoms such as flashing lights or an aura, as well. If you suffer from migraine headaches, you are not alone. Twenty-eight million Americans suffer from the debilitating pain of these headaches. Unfortunately, there is no cure for migraines.
