Don't get them that often but this week I've had two First one was on Tuesday night - and it was a nasty one, the zig-zag flashing lines, followed by a horrible headache. Took 6 aspirins (the only thing which seems to work for me) over a period of 3 hours and went to bed. Woke up next day feeling wooly headed. Did not feel 100% all day. Miffed because the weather was not too bad and I took the car. Thursday felt better but still not 100%. Mid morning the zig zag flashing lines start up again. Swallowed another 3 aspirins. This time I didn't get the headache. Today I feel fine again.

Something triggered them off but I'm not sure what. The only two things I've eaten this week that are different to what I normally eat are a carton of honey and walnut yogurt and some cheddar cheese which has horseradish in it. Both these things I've eaten before with no problem, so I'm at a loss.

Anyone else get migraines and if so how do you deal with them? The worst thing is when I get a really bad migraine, sometimes I can't co-ordinate what I'm doing or speak properly. I know what I want to say, but can't say it. It can be a bit scary
