• What is a migraine?
• If you asked five different migraine sufferers, you'd probably get five different answers.
• Why?
• Because migraines are different for everyone.
• Your migraine attacks are as unique as your fingerprints and the experience you have during an attack won't be the same as anyone else's.
• As there's no one way to get a migraine, there's also no one way to prevent or treat them.
• Researchers used to think migraine was a vascular condition, or one related to the blood vessels, but it's now classed as neurological, which means it's related to the nervous system.
• What's more, they don't yet know what causes you to get migraines, and there's no test you can have to get diagnosed.
• So migraines are a bit of a mystery.
• Frustrating, right?
