I would get the electricity like sight with the right half of what ever I was looking at not being there followed by vomiting and then the excruciating headache that sometimes lasted for days. During one of my episodes I experienced some amnesia. These migraines lasted up untill about the age of 40. Then they just stopped occurring up untill almost a month ago (I will be 55 In January), while I was waiting at the Dr's office. My Dr. was running an hour behind and just at the time I was placed in a room - I started experiencing the sight symptom's. I found it difficult to even be able to talk to the Dr. without sounding absolutley lost for words at moments. The Dr. gave me a shot of Vico & Demerol even tho I told her that I had no pain. The sight got worse and then disipated. Then this morning (3 day's lacking a month from then), I started with the visual symptoms again. This time the visual seemed more intense, but I no sooner took a Lorazepam and a half of pain pill which didn't even have time to take any effect - IT Just stopped!!! Just as quickly as it started. "Thank God" I'm just hopeing that I'm not going back to having these aweful things again after being free of them for so long. I started getting migraine headaches at the age of 14.

These migraines lasted up untill about the age of 40. Then they just stopped occurring up untill almost a month ago (I will be 55 In January), while I was waiting at the Dr’s office.
