The Four Phases of Migraine
Living with migraine can be much like being on a roller coaster ride--lots of ups and downs. We present a spoof on the four phases of migraine and the emotions that can accompany the experience.
Actually, the four phases of migraine include prodrome, aura, headache, and postdrome. Each phase includes a variety of symptoms and it is different from person to person and attack to attack. You needn't get every phase of an attack to be experiencing a migraine. For example, some people just get aura, others only experience the headache phase. The phases can last hours to days, with some patients always in some state of a migraine attack.
