I get migraines too but haven't had one for about 2 years now (thank God). I started getting them when I was in junior high. My first one was an absolutely brutal experience. I was sitting in class and then all of a sudden my vision went crazy. I could only see parts of what I should be seeing. It was like someone had put big black polka dots in front of my eyes or something. I could see part of my friends face beside me but part of her face was blacked out. Everything was like that. I grab her arm and I say "I can't see. There's black spots everywhere." She doesn't believe me at all.
I tell my teacher that I need to go to see the nurse but I didn't think I could go on my own. She doesn't believe me either. She lets me go but makes me go alone. I had to walk through the hallways holding on to the walls and lockers so I didn't walk into anything.
While I'm in the nurse's office, I start smelling oranges. She finally lets me go home and by then I'm still partially blind, smelling oranges everywhere and then the pain starts. I'm on the bus and suddenly my head feels like something is trying to rip my eyes out of my head from the inside out.

When I finally get home I get treated to hours of the most hellishly painful experience ever, even breathing hurt. Thank God I don't get those very often, but since then I can't smell oranges without feeling sick.
