I got plenty of migraines as a child and young adult. The typical pulsing pain in the front of my head above one eye, sometimes both. Later in life they became visual disturbances that subsided into a migraine. Often now they are accompanied by nausea and dizziness. Lately, for the first time I had one in my sleep. I was conscious of it, (perhaps I had woken up) though I continued or fell back to sleep for several more hours. Woke with pretty bad nausea. Collapsed on my way back from getting a bucket, was too dizzy to get up and threw up (in the bucket, fortunately). That was fun. Anyways, today I found out these headaches have a name. Scintillating scotoma, who knew? (rhetorical) Does anyone else here get these type of headaches?
