I get them really bad. My mom and sister do do, it's probably a genetic thing. When my sister used to get them, the first sign was her vision. She only saw half of things, like the bottom half of here eyes didn't work. Mine are called 'vestibular (sp?) migraines' which present themselves with dizzieness, but now I usually only get normal migraines. I use lots of icepacks, and I even have special eye ones that go over your eyes. I have perscription meds that I take when I get one that knocks me out for atleast 4 hours at a time, and when I wake up, they are better, but usually still there. I also take a daily medicine called Imipramine that helps prevent them They are no fun though
