I've gotten migraines since I was 6 years old. I would get them at school, since I was a picky eater and refused to eat hot lunch. (my mother never had time to make me one) My migraine triggers are endless: hormones, caffeine withdrawal (I've been thinking about quitting again, but last time resulted in a 2-week migraine that never relented. I'd rather quit smoking), not eating, and especially drinking too much. If I have more than a handful of drinks in a night, my chances of having a migraine the next day are about 30/70. And that's rarely a risk I'm willing to take.
Mine are usually fairly treatable with drugs, and obviously hereditary since my dad gets them too, so I don't think I'll be signing up for one of those nose-rapes anytime soon.

I used to get migraines that nearly paralyze me, as in I could barely move my legs, and certainly couldn't stand.
Last few years I just get the missing but not really, you know there's something there, but don't know what it is aura (effectively blind), and the screaming throbbing pain that feels like the side of your head is about to split open while the left side of your face is numb.
Usually starts with the vision, then the numbness, then the pain. Lasts a few hours, and usually comes in 3 day spurts. Not nearly as often as it used to, thank god.

I get the sinus migranes that are so bad I loose sight in one or both eyes.
mainly the crap in the air, stress, and hormone levels make them bad or worse.
You feel nausious and definately want to lay down. Nothing like feeling like your eyes are going to pop out of your head to make your day at work more enjoyable.

My first migraine was when I was 12. Unfortunatly I slept through the aura, and that first one was just nausia, no missing vision, and no real head pain. I thought I just had a really, really bad cold that would not go away. But after about 5 days literally of not being able to keep anything down longer than an hour or so, I went to the doctor, they said "Yup, Migraine", gave me a wonderful shot that killed it, and i've been having the damned things ever since.

As some of you may or may not recal, I tend to occasionally get really really bad migraines. About 1/3rd of these are caused by sinus related issues, and i've been trying to get an appointment since early september. Well, today I finally got it, and the phrases "be careful what you wish for", and "adding insult to injury" have never had more meaning to me.
So I get in there, they look in my ears with the thingies, apperently find a misplaced hair growing out of one eardrum that shouldn't be there, which they remove (which @#%^ing HURT!, but thats not the worst part). Eventually the doctor decides "ok, now we need to look into your sinuses." and proceeds to put a fiber optic endoscope with a @#%^ing 2 FOOT LONG probe on the table.
Now I realize that stories on the internet are prone to exageration, but please be assured that when I say 2 FOOT LONG, I mean 24 inches.
After squirting some goo on it, that resembles ultrasound goo, and spraying some "numb all your sinus crap except it didn't work" crap. He then proceeded to ram the entire @#%^ing thing into my left nostril.
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Then he did the right one.
It really, really, really @#%^ing hurt!
My head has been violated. I don't think I will ever be the same. I live in abject terror of the next time I might sneeze.
What the hell did I ever do to deserve this?

He should have at least bought you dinner first.
I get the aura, but no migraines. Weird, I know. I get the aura quite badly - as in, I'm kinda blinded for 15 mins or so until it passes.
Cue "explains your marriage to Mr. Tare" jokes.

I've gotten tension headaches and only once did I get a sinus headache. After a day or so of the sinus headache, I took my mother's advice and sprayed a weak mixture of vinegar, water and salt up my nose. The unbelievable BURN and PRESSURE that resulted had me crawling on the floor with my hands clamped over my face. My eyes are watering now just remembering that God-awful sensation.
However, it worked and within an hour or so, I was breathing normal, feeling fine and ready to live again.
So I would rather take the spray up my nose than 24 inches of a rubber tube.

You just reminded me why I love California, but would not move back even if I was promise the Hearst Castle and unlimited cash to spend on my favorite restaurants.
Santa Anna Winds always would set of my migraines. Then there were the days that the wind would whine so loudly, I first thought that it was the base doing engine tests over on ops. It's in the same tone as is in some music that I can't listen to without getting a migraine. I used to ban listening to America's greatest hits, due to always ending up with migraine after one of the tracks. I never felt it was worth my time trying to figure out which song it was, so turn off the stereo if any of their songs come on the radio. Course if I knew that the tone was, I would be able to build a filter to remove it between the amp and the speakers.
Thankfully I like to go days without turning on the TV or Radio. Thankfully most of my favorite music seems to avoid the tone, so I can crank it up as loud as I want.
My mom were triggered by the fumes from steel mills, so my father had to leave his job at US Steel doing research in Pittsburgh and move us down to the D.C. area. She could always tell when the wind was blowing from Sparrows Point, while we live even as far away as Columbia Md.

Yeah, tentacle rape looks all cool in the hentai, but in reality it really just isn't.
For everyone who gets migraines, you have my profoundest, deepest sympathy. I have had just the one in my lifetime, and I don't know how you guys live your lives with them.

Tentacles provide their own juices Ari.

Poor you, I hope the pain and memory of the experience fades for you

In before blood from abrasions provides lubrication too
?Well not all tentacles are made equal of course. Only a few of them should be doing any penetrating; the rest should be doing equal parts sucking, massaging, lubricating, and engulfing. Shame it's all pretend.

I did read a bit of fanwankery once that discussed how one might rig a hot tub and some plastic pipes to simulate such a thing though. Was a really formal analysis too, kinda creepy considering the context.

Content drives technology! 
I woke up with migraine this morning. If my vision gets to point I can't see monitor, I'll try knitting for awhile.
Only reason I got up, was brother is coming over with papers to sign for probate of dad's will. Then I may hide under the covers and try to sleep.
