My aunt had brain surgery at 15 and they nicked a blood vessel, so now when she gets stressed it bleeds a little and the pressure causes her migraines.
She's looking after a baby 24/7 and an insane mother, by the way. Needless to say, she gets them often. ~_~
As for me, I haven't had one in over a decade; as a child, at one point around middle school I was having 2-3 a week. I missed like 60 days of school that year, seriously. I'd rather not talk about the level of pain, but yeah, if my eyes registered anything more than complete darkness, if I moved, if I heard any noise whatsoever, it was like someone hitting me in the head with a hammer, and more often than not it was so bad that it caused me to throw up, or at least dry heave when I had nothing left to throw up.
