I can go to bed feeling normal, but wake some-time during the night feeling so heavy, & an effort to keep my eyes open. It is usually a nightmare that has awaken me. I know then the next 3 or 4 days a head will not be good. I take Valpro 200. All of my migraines start this way, so I know when they are coming. I first started getting them in 1998, but not as often. They have increased over the years. Medication has helped, but I still get one every 6 to 8 weeks. They can still last at least 3 days. It is the dizziness, nauseation & Tinnituus that knock me off my feet. Stemzine or similar do not seem to have any effect. I am 63 years of age. Is it common for people of my age to start getting them.? I was diagnosed a round 18 months ago as being a Basilar Migraine sufferer.

Do you know of others where by their migraines start as mine do.? What has happened during sleep to set this off.?
