    FYI…link is not working on my end. Overall, though, don’t forget that a migraine and seizures have much in common, including a post-ictal period that can last for days after the headache. Sort of like the brain reeling from the beating it just took. This affects your entire life.

    I describe it as feeling like you got hit by a bus the day before. My friend calls it a hangover. The after effects of a migraine can be very debilitating.

    Amen. I also call it a hangover. It feels very similar to a hangover.

    Hi James:
    I voted in the “poll”. Good idea! I also have eye pain, often wake up with it and have pain keeping my eyes open, ususally dominant in one eye. It’s like a stabbing prickley pain…and subsides to a low pain after being up for a while. Don’t know if “eyes” are included in the poll within “face”…so I thought I’d mention it.

    Thank you for your continued research and postings on your blog. I really appreciate it since it has been the best source of up-to-date information about migraines and research in that area. God bless Carol H.

    Yes, “hangover” is a very common term for this part of a migraine attack – and a very appropriate one.

    Is it possible for me to see the actual data (just the numbers) to look at how many symptoms coincide with Hemiplegic Migraine responders?

    What I’m looking for is, i.e., how many people answered the three Head, Neck, and Back. An another category may be Head, Neck, Arms, Feet, and Back, and so on.

    I can’t seem to get to the poll, but I figured I would post my answers here anyways…

    My migraines seem to have several levels, but my sever ones trigger pain in my neck, head, and eyes. Back pain and throat pain have also been experienced.
