Migraine, can be so disabling its symptoms, causing sufferers to think, sometimes, of just finding a dark and quiet place to lie down. The data indicate that up to 17% of women and 6% of men have previously suffered from a migraine attack.

In some cases, warning signs (aura) of this severe headache appear, or they are accompanied by signs such as flashing light, blurred vision, or a tingling feeling in the arm or leg. Migraine is often accompanied by additional symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and excessive sensitivity to light and noise.

Migraines may be so severe that the patient is immobile for several hours or even days.

Fortunately, in the last decade there has been a remarkable improvement in coping with sisterhood.

 It is preferable for patients who have consulted the doctor in the past and were not successful in controlling the symptoms of migraine, to see the doctor again.

So far, there is no cure for the disease, but medicines help reduce the rate of migraine onset and stop the headache once it starts.

 Taking the right medications, along with the patient's procedures and lifestyle changes, can dramatically transform the course of migraine.
