Some people get migraine with an aura, which is a sort of warning system before a migraine starts. Symptoms of migraines can vary from person to person, trigger to trigger, and migraine to migraine. The cerebrospinal fluid protects your brain and spine from getting hurt. He or she will then use a long needle to puncture the base of your spine and collect some of the fluid there. With this test, a doctor will give you something to numb your spine. It can also check for certain cancers and multiple scleroses.
Migraine headache pain usually focuses on one side of the skull, though for some it can happen on both. Migraines are often accompanied by symptoms such as loss of vision, vomiting, tremors and stroke-like symptoms such as numbness to parts of the body. They are anything but your normal tension or sinus headaches, lasting anywhere from several hours to several days and in some reported cases, months or even years. Migraines are debilitating conditions that affect the lives of between 12 and 24 million Americans (18 percent of women and 6 percent of men), and remain grossly underdiagnosed. The next day, a co-worker makes fun of you for missing work because of a headache. It feels as though someone's taken one of those cartoon sledgehammers to your head, except not nearly as funny. Hours later, your meeting is going on without you, and you are in the bathroom battling skull-crushing pain and nausea, and you're unable to see out of one eye. You know that you're about to get yet another migraine. Your head suddenly seems swollen to three times its size. The left side of your face goes numb, and so do your hands. You're sitting at work, preparing notes for the morning meeting, when you gradually begin to notice white, jagged lights flickering at the edge of your vision.
