'Work is impossible during a severe episode' We had a huge response on #BBCBreakfast after we covered a debate in Parliament on treatments for migraines - and this morning we shared some of your views

I have suffered migraines for nearly 14 years. It impacts every aspect of my life. I don't think all employers are aware of how bad it can be.

They are truly awful, it’s like an ice pick to my head, I can’t speak, I shiver and sweat like I have a fever, lose my speech and vomit. Lying in a dark room thinking you’re going to die is just horrible 🥹All this can go on for a full day then there’s the fatigue and then the increase of more attacks during the postdrome phase. Not all medications work 100% all the time and when they do they can’t rid the exhaustion after the attack. @MigraineTrust

Thank you so much @TVNaga01 & Charlie for this excellent piece with Dr Brendan Davies, Chair of @UK_headache. If listeners want more info, they can listen to our @NatMigraineCtr podcast, @HeadsUpNMC #migraine #ManagingYourMigraine.

My boss told me to take ibuprofen and man up......in front of a staff meeting. No idea....

Migraines come in different types as well, I suffer with hemiplegic migraines, the last one saw me rushed to hospital and then taken transferred to the stroke unit at Salford as you get the effects of having a stroke without actually having one. I had drooping in my face and...

The only thing that works for me is sumatriptan, 3 aspirin, a strong shot of coffee and lie down in a dark room. At its worst, I have difficulty seeing, speaking and at times it feels like my body is shutting down and can be totally debilitating

Until you suffer with migraine you never understand. My GP told me I had had a stroke after my first migraine. I started at 40 ,but thankfully I haven't had one for a while .

My son suffered for years ,you could see the colour of his face drain away,he would just hide under the duvet ,close the curtains and be off school for a week,no one seemed interested #migraine #ill

People really don’t understand , they say ‘ oh it’s just a headache’ when it’s really not!

Certainly true that work is impossible. Anyone who says they have a migraine but carries on working doesn't really have a migraine but a bad headache. For me the only possible cure is sleep.
