I've only had 1 migraine headache. I was 11 years old laying on the sofa watching a movie with my parents. I told my mom to close the blinds and shut the lights off because the light was in my eye and hurting me. Well, the room was dark. I then felt a little queasy and as I made my way to the bathroom I fell over a potted plant and fell to the ground. I remained on the ground, crying in pain from an awful headache and blinding light. I was rushed to the emergency room. The doctors performed some equilibrium tests. It was all simple stuff like take your left hand and touch your right shoulder. I couldn't do it because I was confused. They knew immediately I had a migraine headache. I never had one since.
