Ok,

I'm a 16 year old male I like to exercise and keep fit ( I run 10k twice a week) My diet is not great but has not changed in the last few years and recently i have started suffering from the occasional migraine, maybe once a month, I know this is nowhere near as bad as some of the people who are suffering from them but it is a major inconvenience not just to me, but to my parents aswell sad I drink plenty of water and rarely eat new/strange foods.

Also, before my most recent migraine my eyes felt a little funny, like when you look at a bright light and then look at something dark and I was struggling to focus on things when looking at them.

If anyone has any idea's what I can do to prevent them or even just ease the pain it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Logan

    If the funny vision thing comes before the headache comes, it sounds like you have migraine with aura which I had for about 20 years before I stopped having the aura and started having different sorts of migraine.

    I found Migraleve worked for me. You can buy it without a prescription. I used to have difficulty seeing properly and know that a migraine was on its way. There were blanks where I was looking and it was all shimmery so I would have to look to the left or right of something to try to see it. It was very weird.

    If I took a Migraleve tablet within the first half hour of having the funny vision then it stopped the migraine coming. There were 2 colours of tablets - yellow and pink. You took one colour when you had the funny vision thing and then a different colour if the migraine had started. It worked so well for me that I never had to take the second tablet.

    This might work for you.
