Do you suffer from them?  I get them, but not very often.  They have been known to last for an entire week though.  I got my first one at 14 years old.  It was massive.  I missed an entire week of school and the doctor gave me 2 prescriptions, some samples he had in his office, and a shot.  Even with all that it lasted the entire week.  I've only had one other one that bad and that was when I was 17 and we had just moved to Florida.  Now I get them about every couple months or so, but not that bad.  I try to catch it early so it doesn't get bad.  I usually succeed.
I have a cousin who gets really really bad ones at least once a week.  She is miserable. So far she hasn't been able to find anything that works for her.  Her next option is to try Botox for migraines.  I just hope it works for her.  I know that I couldn't handle having migraines at least once a week.

I've been getting them since I was 12. They were really horrible at first and I got them quite often. I was on beta blockers for awhile. They truly knocked me down for however long I had them.
They've slowed down since I've gotten older, but they're still hard on me.
