I used to get those migranes in my teens when I was growning the most. I had one a few years a go, but it wasn't very bad.

I would feel really good before I had one, then I would notice my vision would go blury, and that was a sign that I needed to move to a dark room and get away from any light and it would be a only a matter of time before the pain would kick in.

At their worst I think I just passed out though the pain, lose my memory, be completely pail and wake up with my ears ringing.

I used to get really bad migraines when I was in my teens. But now I get just the
aura or "Aurora Dolorosa" as I sometimes call it mild headache with a bit of queesyness.

That's interesting... I get the auras associated with migraines but rarely do I get the migraine itself. Though the auras themselves are incapcitating, as they cause me to lose a large portion of my field of vision.

This has happened to me since I was a teenager.

I have horrible vestibular migraines.
Before the pain starts sometimes I see these little ripples of light go places, and little dots moving (I always mistake them for insects).
The pain is incapacitating and so is the dizziness. Once I had one for four days, just threw up all the time, got really sick.
