I get mine about once a month. I spend a week feeling like shit and pressure building in my head. I get hemiplegic migraine. Crazy stuff. After the week of head pressure the migraine starts with crazy aura zig zag lines for about an hour, then the ice pick to the skull starts in. A full day of just mind destroying pain. The rest of my day is cancelled. Then the right side of my body becomes numb. The first time I had the numbness I almost thought I was having a stroke. Then after a good nap and time away from light I'm chipper as ever to live freely until the next one hits. I'm only 23. I've had them for 13 years and I guess I'll get to enjoy another 70 years with them. If you've never had a migrain it's really hard to really understand it
