[JoeA320Pilot]

For some reason I get them once a year Sep-Oct it started when I was 12 and now it's been going on for years. Weird eh? Usually it starts with blurry vision like your drunk in one eye, then this massive throbbing pain with your skin turning pale with cold sweat, then your stomach will start to kick up, then you just barf, pass out, and finally wake up normal.

[MCMCsimulation]

Well, I know what causes a migraine now after watching this.

[R4HU1]

WHAT! WHAT? WHAT!!?? WHAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!?!?

[83papple]

if someone can put subtitle translation in other languages such as italian and spanish is better!thank you!!

[MBJH17isbackonlyone]

Im having a migraine right now.... Can't wait for the big headache after "O

No good

[24msscarlett]

I have used Migre-lief for 7 yrs. and my migraines have decreased from 4-5 per month to 1-2 per month. It is Magnesium, Fever Few and Vitamin B I believe and I haven't had to go to the hospital for an injection since Oct. 2004. It will be shipped to you as not many pharmacies make it. I take one per day as two affects your bowels (after all -remember Milk of Magnesia) You take them daily regardless of having a headache as it is taken as a preventative. Check it out - it works for me.

[HeadacheTreatment]

Very useful information. I am very interested. thanks boss...

[TazzyProductions]

Also I had just started using this ab master pro. I dont usually work out and I'm small. I was wondering if it was because my sugar levels were too low?

[TazzyProductions]

Today I was in town and when I went in the ice cream shop, after about 5 minutes, my vision went blurry. I didn't get a headache but it felt, well I cant explain, like i was losing control in my body and about to float off or something. I lost control of my legs and stumbled in to someone. A minute after I couldn't even remember if I did or I was imagining. It was horrible but as soon as I left the shop, i was fine, just a bit shaky. It would only happen in that shop. Any idea what it was?

[ImEternalWanderer]

@TazzyProductions some sort of smell or chemical in that shop trigger that? Try different times, different hours and different state of body.

My trigger for migraine is usually hunger, dehydration and junk food after a hunger (hungry as hell, grab a McDonald and bam ---> 4 hours of migraine). Fasting then strenuous exercise seems to be another trigger.

[TazzyProductions]

@ImEternalWanderer I think it was because outside it was hot and then when i went into the shop it was cold and the light shone in my eyes. I get it often but only for like 4 seconds. Like when you get up to fast and you feel a little dizzy except it happens to me a bit more often. I also thought it was something to do with my sugar levels, maybe it was a mix. I haven't been back in the shop since. Don't think I want to after I stumbled into someone last time lol Atleast im prepared now.

[TheMushopiaChannel]

that sounds painful :/

[mebeluvined]

I thought I was smart...but nah

[elraJdnalelliLNOR]

I just had migraine.. Fuck me....

[Bnswiss]

i am male and have aura migraines I started getting them when i was about 8 I often have prodrome like symptoms and they use to often times turn into migraines I have since learned to control that when it starts. I am also ex heroin junkie and take methadone now and have not had a migraine while taking these drugs though while sober i did get one once so they have not subsided with age. interesting that methadone and heroin prevent migraines...maybe cuz of how they interact with dopamine?

[meghapatelar]

Hey Its really helpful..I want to include it in my seminar of migraine..Could you please mail it me..??  Thanks..

[38Victor38]

this gave me migraine

[migrainesurgery]

You can see my migraine theory page in my web site (alisultaneh dot 8m dot com) to read about the relation between Collagen and Migraine.

[FunnyVidsIllustrated]

I understand nothing of this.

[2007jk2007]

Dont try to watch this whilst experiencing a migraine like I just have and currently am!! The flashing lights dont help :P

[Navill0]

Thx for the upload , it was really good and schematical explanation of the Aura and the speading depression effect.

[DrNukta]

This is an interesting yet a very complicated video for someone not in the medical field. One etiology that explains migraines is that certain nerves in the face and head can be pinched by muscles they run though. These muscles act like set of pliers squeezing an electric cable, these nerve will become irritated and starts a cascade of events that results in a migraine attack, Hence removing that muscle can relief the pressure of the nerve. You can view 2 videos on the subject on our channel.

[mariofan4523]

If anybody understood a word she said, please let me know, 'cause I now have the worst headache of my life just trying to figure out what the F she's talking about!

[terynhasweet]

I suffer migraince since adolescence, have take so much pills, with time i discover all the things that catalise them and some i can avoid, others is impossible...just some one suffer this can understand the terrible pains we have to suffer!

[cabanaboi29]

if migraines are so bad, how does an aneurysm feel?

[hiodr]

what a load of crap. they are caused by hypoadrenia from nerve interference.

[Freddiewgbs]

when i get them, i usually vomit violently, and even sometimes pass out. damn i hate them. once u begin to become familiar with them, and when they are building up, you can take some strong nureofen and go to sleep before it gets to a point where it bad, in a few hours, ill wake up and be right as rain!

[kwarkn]

i got a migraine today on the bus. I usually get a blind spot first so it is a good indicator. I hate migraines.

[sjlove2bird]

Advil and a double shot of espresso stopped my migraine today! I'm amazed.

[VLADABOSNJAK]

This migraine diary really helped me my-migraine-diary com

[broadcastmyass4u]

Can LSD actually cause migraines? I've had a suspicion of this, we know that it and certain other hallucinogens temporarily ease the pain, but is there such thing as a rebound effect, or long term effect of hallucinogens that causes this?

[icool247]

@kaos0404 ahaha wow

[ninjamole89]

i could only get until the dilation of artery(?) then...i lost it.

Hats off to all you researchers and dctors who could figue the cause of migraine!

[mettabee]

i only started getting them when i started the birth control pill, now i get them like clockwork every month even though i stopped the pill years ago.

[universetechnique]

Remember I was here.Thai

[SkillerTG]

My Head hurts even more now! >,<

[FlyingRayzorBlade]

Hmmm strange,i understood every word.

And English is not my native language,i don't even live in any English speaking countries :D

[hiodr]

what a load of crap.

[639426]

O MY GOSH who came up with all those names lol respect for doctors and going to school learn all this stuff. why cant doctors just call it the red tingy hurts and that other blue tingy hurts and the middle ball thing inside my head hurts lol. i have a huge headache and it just wont go away and i cant even sleep cause of it

[MTLXY]

Uhm this sounds not like "English" to me.. its very profound

[boorens18]

I get these damn things twice a year. when the pressure changes during summer-fall transition and the winter-spring transition. Right when it gets windy.

Rapid pressure change seems to set them off. Best way to prevent em I've found is to wear something over your ears on windy days (assuming you have the same triggers)

[Jmarie2525]

Hey if you guys live near Dallas, TX. I know a perfect neurologist... My friend (17) suffers from migraine and it's hard to see her in so much pain, I'm thankful i don't have them, yet!

[mancrushonhanksnow]

Had one last night. I knew when I started seeing the kaleidoscope in the corner of my eye I was in for a hellish evening.

[EricLR81]

Oh may god! You are the first person I have ever found that has that problem. I have it too. It's very scary. I've had this problem since I was 11. I'm 28 now. How about you? Do you know what the triggers are?

[THE09HARI]

im only 14 i hve had 2 migrain one in 2008 and one now in 2009. i jst wanna kill myself when i get em sooo painfull

[EricLR81]

I know how you feel. I'm 28 and have had them since 11. The only thing you can do is try to sleep it off. I understand the feeling of wanted to shoot your self, I feel that everytime I have one.

[ih8suvz]

@EricLR81 Wow I had a Migraine when I woke up this morning. I don't get them very often either. Luckly I was able to get back to sleep, too bad I had to throw up first though. I do feel a lot better after 3 more hours of sleep. Still hurts when I sneeze or cough.

[Wivanunu]

This is a great, short video that tells exactly what's going on during an attack.

I wish it would give details about aura...why we lose vision, go numb, weak, can't speak, can't remember, phantom smells, etc...

Also, why we get a cold runny nose and cold hands and feet when a miraine attack starts.

[EricLR81]

You can't speak either? I have that same problem.  I go blind and then start talking like a 2 year old. It's so weird and scary.

[VickiBabyyxo]

@EricLR81 Yes! I do the exact same thing, and nobody understands when I try to explain it. My hands also get numb, and I go into a very confused state. It sucks. :(

[purplefrostedcupcake]

what with the big words?

[JDminor1989]

i have had migraines since i was 8 years old i am now almost 21. none of the meds work and cant keep a job! i am also manic depressive so when i get one i wanna die and nothin can change it! all the research ive done tells me to do one thing... keep a journal of what youve eaten what time you get up and go to bed and certain activities youve done during the day! i still have about 3 a week tho!

[corysmolly]

i have had migraines since i was in 3rd grade. I'm 35 now. my headaches last for about 10 hours and make me feel hung-over for 30 more hours. i started to smoke weed a lot a couple of years ago and haven't gotten a migraine since, though i still get auro several times a month but at least the pain and vomitting are gone..

[trekclev]

My grandmother got Migraines all the time like i do..She had blood vein burst

I don't want this to happen to me...What

can i do?

[SlyGemini10]

treckclev- You should either take pills specifically for migraines or when you get a migraine try not to be so active or possibly nap. There is no known cure for migraines, but I think the worse you upset them the more susceptible you are to something like that happening.

[Wivanunu]

Get a really good neurologist who understands this disease and treats it very seriously.

We are at a much greater risk of stroke when we have migraines...especially migraine with aura.

[EricLR81]

Are you serious? Where did you hear get this information from? I'd love to read it because I have the vision problems too.

[LeahThompsonx3]

atm im getting them once a week it sucks! i find the only thing that helps is the medication

[Llamasloveme]

I'm only fourteen and I have migraine ... I just want to die when I get it. Luckily I don't get it that often, but it always happens at school...

[missplaygirl900076nt]

migraines are awfull ive benn geting them since i was 8 years old and im 25 now

i cant not work cuz off this it well n truly rulls my life . my nan use to get them n my mum gets them n apprentley it runns throught the femail side off the famlie i cant stand flashing lights smoke or lould music it sucks big time n my tables keep geting stoped thay dont make them eny more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W / BK HANNAH X

[intheopen]

A ladt I met told me to take a magnesium supplement, & it would help my migraines. I bought a supplement called "Calm". Comes in citrus flavored powder form. Mix with water. It has helped a lot. Although I do still get headaches, they are not as frequent, nor as intense when they do come. Hope this helps some of you other sufferes as well. A much larger dose than I take is recommended. But I find I can only tolerate 1/2 a teaspoon a day. Makes your bowels VERY regular.

[intheopen]

But hey, its worth it. Some of you guys may be able to take larger doses that will do you even more good. Good luck all. I bought my bottle off of e-bay.

[acippico]

Migraines rule my life. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. I can't hold down my successful full-time job any more that I've had for 25 years because of them. I'm a really positive person but when I get them I just want to die.

[MichaelBradley1988]

i didn't understand a fooking word she said........migraines suck, watching a video explaining migraines, sucks even harder

[popman648]

migraines fucking suck!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ectomy5422]

@popman648 I know! They are extremely bad and they are recurrent, throbbing, very painful headaches, often affecting one side of the head and sometimes accompanied by vomiting or by distinct warning signs, including visual disturbances.

[popman648]

i only had a migraine once last year and i started feeling dizzy a burfed then it was hurting less the i fell aleep and then the next day i felt so happy what level of migraine was mine?

[isausol]

My Migraines are Rank 3 (Hinders ALL activities and has severe pain). The worst bit for my is the Aura (Scintillating Scatoma). Just thinking about the aura makes me feel sick.

[BeardedBill86]

@isausol I know what you mean whenever I think of that aura I feel sick aswell, I dislike the pain far more though.

I tend to get persistant aura lately aswell, it's really annoying, feels like my vision is messed up half the time.

[JaMesJC112]

@BeardedBill86 same for me. recently it seems like i still have a slight visual aura in my right eye...

[ih8suvz]

F**k I woke up with a migraine this morning. Went back to sleep for a couple of hours and it was gone. Guess I was lucky, still hurts when I sneeze though.

[sandeepbirhade]
