There's nothing like living through something to help a person be sympathetic to others in like circumstance. Every adult should suffer at least one migrainous headache before they hit their mid-20s. I'm sympathetic. I've had at least one migraine a month for the past 25 years.
Health insurance providers aren't so sympathetic -- a recent company that we're no longer using refused to cover anything above my neck, and it transpires that (perhaps among other things) they were avoiding paying for a possible stroke.
Could my migraines be due to a hole in my heart? (Thank you, Patrick, for the link.)

My understanding is that medical science does not yet know what causes migraines. I have never suffered from them as such, but I've known several people who have, and my understanding is that they are a foretaste of Hell.
No joke, you have my sympathy. Getting to be our age is bad enough without all these nagging, depressing, painful little health problems that we know damned well are only going to get worse. Serious suggestion: have you looked into the Restricted Calorie diet that a lot of Baby Boomers are adopting in our eternal quest to achieve immortality?
(The Baby Boom generation will NEVER die! No, no, no, that cannot be...we are the Baby Boomers, we will NEVER grow old, we will Graze in The Grass listening to I-Da-Gadda-Da-Vida forever! Groovy, man! Like, far out! Kiss my Botox...sorry, I'm raving...)
Seriously, it's supposed to cure all manner of ills. I think it's http://www.restrictedcalorie.com but you can Google it. I frankly do not as yet have the self-discipline to give up everything that tastes good, and live off 1,500 calories per day that taste like cardboard, but I keep trying to nerve myself for the attempt. The object of the diet is supposed to be to live to age 100, by which time medical science will have found the means to give us all eternal life and the Baby Boom will live on forever.
My God, who would WANT to live forever in the world that's coming?
Anyway, good luck with the migraines.
