I get really bad migraines! I don’t get any aura with them but the pain is unbearable, I can’t stand any light, sound or smells and I can hardly stand during a very bad one, and every little movement results in either more pain or vomiting so I end up vomiting more because I need to move because I need to vomit. I used to get them a couple times a month sometimes a little less if I’m lucky. As I’ve grown and gotten treatment they are a lot less frequent.
In a particular place I worked at years ago I started to get migraines bad and they would send me home. I then found that people working there started to make fun of me “Oh no I’ve got a bit of a headache, I need to go home.” A few weeks later one of them came in and couldn’t stop apologising enough. Turns out she fell ill on the weekend and had to have a doctor out… it was a migraine
Sorry for the info there but it’s true!
I also have epilepsy but because I don’t “fit” loose conciseness or zone out as such people often tell me that “It can’t be epilepsy.” … I’m sorry I didn’t know you were a qualified neurologist.
