Migraine attacks


by: P. Y. on Mon, Aug 06 2007

I had classic migraine attacks when I was a child. The symptoms were wavey lines in my vision which progressed until my vision was mostly just straight ahead accompanied by sensitivity to light. Then after and hour or so violent pain behind my eyes, and finally vomiting. The cycle took several hours to run the course.

I had numerous medical tests with no luck. This was between 1948 and 1953. Then they went away for many years and recently I have again started having symptoms of the visual wavy lines. If I take one aspirin at the first appearance of the symptoms they go away in about an hour. These symptoms appear several times a week. I can’t believe that simple aspirin is so effective.
