Daily migraine
There are some people who get migraine almost every day, and the duration can be almost continual, with varying degrees of migraine present at any one time.Pain
One symptom of migraine cannot be over-stated. The pain of migraine has been described as being the worst possible. Many people believe that they must be the only people to be experiencing such extreme pain. They can’t imagine that anything as bad as this could exist and not be making headline news. Many describe it as being much worse than having a baby, worse than the worst toothache etc. Some people have a severe headache that is not as bad as the worst possible migraine pain, and are able to function despite it. There are even some people who have migraine, and do not experience any pain. They simply have neurological disturbances, nausea or vomiting, or any combination of these.After a migraine subsides, there is a feeling of bruising in the area that was affected by the pain. Most migraine sufferers feel strange the following day. Some people feel so ill during this phase that that they have to stay at home while they recover.
