Migraine SUX !!!!! I've had them for years.

I will admit, Percy is one tough dude. Football is the last sport, except perhaps hockey, that I'd want to be playing if had chronic migraines. It's something to be careful with.

Hockey is how mine started. I was a goalie. I was hit in the face ( my mask was off ) broke the left side of my face. Migraines for the rest of my life. Good Times Good Times. They SUX !!!!

I went through a couple of years with migraines. Thank God they went away. Poor Harvin........I feel sorry for him. I wish him well.

I don't get migraines thank budda, but I did have and amazingly painful headache about 3 years ago and I wanted to bust a cap in my own azz it hurt so bad.

I feel for this guy cause it has to be amazingly frustrating for him. Hope he can get some relief.

I've never had migraines either. I had a doctor explain to me once that a migrain is the same feeling of a seious brain freeze, the kind you get when drinking an Icee too fast, only it doesn't go away after 15-20 seconds. You guys that have them, is this a good description?
