My first migraine

I was 11 years old and I remember being at home and started feeling really dizzy and nauseous and my head was pounding. I started overheating and sweating and then I started vomiting. I fell asleep with an ice pack on my head and my mom took me to the doctor the next morning. They did some X-rays and an MRI and I was given a medication called Midrin. In 2013, I was diagnosed with complex migraines and cervical spine disc disease after blacking out walking through the mall in Virginia with my husband. We drove back to Maryland where we live and by midnight, I was sitting at urgent care. When I arrived at urgent care, I was taken back for X-rays, another MRI, and was given more prescriptions. In 2015, I went in for a week of tests after my appointment from my neurologist. I ended up getting a lumbar puncture and a cisternogram.
