Hemiplegic Migraine

I started having migraines at the age of 5. Sensitive to light, sound with vomiting. I started hemiplegic migraines with aura at 13. I always will have headaches and migraine symptoms as well as my two teens. These are passed down in my family, unfortunately. I manage stress and I don't eat migraine trigger foods. This seems to help.
