Approximately, one in ten people suffer from migraine. Most sufferers have their first attack between their early teens and the age of forty. Children are also susceptible to migraine, though often they do not suffer in the same manner as adults. Until puberty, migraine is about equally common among boys and girls. After puberty, it becomes almost three times more common among females.
Once triggered, migraine most commonly manifests with a throbbing headache and can have other accompaniments such as giddiness, nausea, vomiting, intolerance to light and sound. Less commonly migraine may also present with temporary neurological disturbances that include visual impairment or numbness or speech difficulty.
And for those of you, who think migraine is a product of modern times, please note that migraine is mentioned in the oldest medical manuscript found in a 3200-year-old tomb in Egypt. Throughout history Julius Caesar, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, Leo Tolstoy, Sigmund Freud, George Bernard Shaw, Richard Wagner and Lewis Carroll were some famous people who suffered from migraine. So, if you are sad because of your migraines, do not despair, you are in exalted company!
