How do you eloquently describe the pain of a migraine to one who cannot relate to it?

Hi Jerry!
I think describing Migraine to someone who doesn't "get it" is one of the hardest things to do.
Teri Robert wrote a great friends and family letter, maybe that will help you, or give you some good info.
Remember, Migraine is a neurological disease, not just a "bad headache" like some think. Having a migraine attach is a flare up of this disease.
See this article: Migraine and Headache Education for those who "don't get it". There are some great referances in this article you can print out and give to your loved ones to help them understand.
Hope this helps a bit!!
Good luck!
