They are the grand daddies of migraines  the vascular part comes from the
artery and veins on the inside of your head area.  Mine constrict so much
that it cause the pressure to build causing a head ache and the other
problems.  Unfortunately they are constant headaches.  They never go away
medications keep them from causing pain to occur.  A regular migraine when
you have  a MRI or cat scan done shows up as red spots in various locations
depending on the type of migraines.  Mine are solid patches that can cover
the whole head.  It sucks sometimes I have had them since I was 16 it took
10 years to diagnose considering I am over  the hill that is a long time.
It really sucked when the pain hits knocks me for a loop for days at time
where if some one would breath on me it hurt, vomiting, dry heaves, the pain
behind the eyes, the disorientation caused by moving.  You can't stop crying
from the pain no choice.
   You don't want to move cause it hurts to do so.  Dark rooms are
necessary of life.  Every little noise sends you into killer pain where you
want to go into a killing rage upon the person causing the noise.  Loss of
sanity, Depression, Confusion, anxiety, loss of memory. You start having
suicidal thoughts just to end the pain.
I went thru hell till I was able to get regulated  it took them years to
figure it out.  They thought at first it was leukemia, than a brain tumor,
cancer.  Exploratory surgeries and test  you name it I had it done.   When I
get a headache  which is very rare now adays.  Maybe once a year maybe no
real bad ones in about 5 years.  When the headache hits I suffer from
paralyzation of the pupil; in other words my eye dark area completely take
over the white part of the eye if you are a star trek fan I would have
betazoid eyes; counselor troy from star trek next generation.  And my
adrenaline level sky rockets enough to where it kills my white and red blood
cells.  I have to remain completely calm; my chemical make up of the body
gets so whacked out that  Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde is a good example for me.
For example adrenaline makes up .001% of you blood you hear about those
little old ladies that lift cars off of someone their level are about 12%
my sky rockets to 75% or more.  My muscles and body stress out so much from
the adrenaline burst that it collapses on it self.   It has almost caused
heart attacks and strokes.  Been taken to the hospital so many times in the
past that I carried my medical records with me  It can be really FUBAR

Having more than 2 migraines a year causing your symptoms is definitely time
to tell doctor.  With all the new studies and medicine it is easier to find
the trigger cause

I also have migraines, but they have gotten so much better over the
years as I learn the triggers. I only get one every year or two now.

Mine usually start with part of vision missing -- like I'm driving and
suddenly I can see one stop light but not the one right beside it. After
that, the flashing lightning bolts across my field of vision.

Naproxin Sodium (Aleve) works for me. I started taking it when it was
prescription and not over the counter. The trick is to take it
immediately at any least little sign of a headache. There is a point of
no return on those headaches.

As for triggers, the usuals -- red wine, chocolate, aged cheese. My main
trigger is blood sugar levels. I can NEVER miss a meal. If I skip
breakfast I can be assured of a migraine by lunch-time. I also don't eat
anything too sweet first thing.

I wonder if yours is like that too, since you get them in the morning.
You might want to watch what you eat the night before -- no sugary
things that will crash your blood level overnight (I would probably add
alcohol to that list). Maybe eat things with protein late (nuts, cheese,
 sugar-free yogurt) or something that might carry you through to the
morning.

That's my guess, but if you are suffering that much I would definitely
talk to the doctor about it.

Hope you can get those nasty things under control,

Rhonda
