Migraine is a type of headache characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe throbbing and pulsating pain on one side of the head. The pain is caused by the activation of nerve fibers within the wall of brain blood vessels traveling inside the meninges (three layers of membranes protecting the brain and spinal cord). For me I get pain on my right side temple and eye. Attacks last from four to 72 hours. I don't count by hours but by days. I can have up to 18 days of migraines in a month from moderate to severe. 

Common symptoms include increased sensitivity to light, noise, and odors, nausea, vomiting, and in my case vertigo. Routine physical activity, movement, or even coughing or sneezing can worsen the headache pain.

Migraines occur most frequently in the morning, especially upon waking. Some people have migraines at predictable times, such as before menstruation or on weekends following a stressful week of work. Many people feel exhausted or weak following a migraine but are usually symptom-free between attacks. 

A number of different factors can increase your risk of having a migraine. These factors, which trigger the headache process, vary from person to person and include:

Sudden changes in weather or environment, Too much or not enough sleep, Strong odors or fumes, Emotion, Stress, Overexertion, Loud or sudden noises, Motion sickness, Low blood sugar, Skipped meals, Tobacco, Depression, Anxiety, Hormonal changes, Bright or flashing lights. 

I have suffered from migraines since I was in high school and it worsen as I got older. I have most of the symptoms mentioned above and deal with this on a day to day basis. Not only does it affect me but those around me. This condition can be debilitating and sometimes under diagnosed by physicians. I want to bring awareness to all by being part of this walk.
