I'm a neuroscientist and here are 12 facts that would put people with migraine into coma. Let's go. One, migraine is the second leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Two, migraine is the top cause of disability among women ages 15 to 49. Three, a single migraine attack can last for days, not just hours. Four, migraines can make you temporarily lose part of your vision without warning. Five, hemiplegic migraine causes temporary weakness or even paralysis of one side of your body. Six, a migraine attack can happen without any pain. Pain is only one symptom of a complex disease. Seven, migraines can cause intense vertigo so intense that even standing or walking becomes impossible. Eight, migraine can make ordinary light, sound, and smells trigger extreme pain. Nine, a migraine attack can actually leave you unable to read or speak normally, which can mimic stroke symptoms. Scary. 10. The migraine hangover can actually leave you drained for days after the attack phase has ended, which significantly increases the disability of this disease. 11. People with chronic migraine have a minimum of 15 symptomatic days every single month. 12. Migraine pain can be so severe that it can be comparable to childbirth, and patients often fantasize about having a lobotomy. And after all of that, people with migraine are still asked: Have you tried drinking water? Yes. We've tried water.
