Migraine you are a pain in my head
Sometime you make wish I was dead
The pain you give me is so excruciating
One side of my head keeps on throbbing
Migraine first appear between the ages of 10 and 45
Some people have an aura that the migraine will arrive
Seeing stars or zigzag lines, blurred vision or yawning
Trouble finding the right words or concentrating
After the aura the migraine begins on one side of the head
The pain is also behind the eyes, something to dread
Because the pain is so bad, I wish to end my life
Give me something to stab my head like a knife
The slightest noise or a sudden glaring light
Will make me hide in a dark quiet room hoping for night
I cannot sleep, I cannot eat, smell can trigger the migraine
Medicine, injections, nothing seems to stop the pain
One day I will be able to get rid of you
You will be gone using drugs that are new
-An original poem by Kenneth Kee

Migraine
The migraine is the second most common type of headache that may be so intense and debilitating that people with migraine are unable to work.
Migraine can occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light.
In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head.
Each migraine can last from four hours to three days.
Occasionally, it will last longer.
Migraines have a tendency to run in families.
Four out of 5 migraine sufferers have a family history of migraines.
If one parent has a history of migraines, the child has a 50% chance of developing migraines and if both parents have a history of migraines the risk jumps to 75%.
Migraines may run in families
Migraine headaches tend to first appear between the ages of 10 and 45.
Sometimes they may begin later in life.
Migraines occur more often in women than men (5 to 1).
Some women but not all may have fewer migraines when they are pregnant.
