I can always tell by the tone of her voice when she has one of them. She says, cafffeine helps her through them. So I am her Latte boy, running to Starbucks, to appease the migraine beast. She claims weather changes bring them on for her, an approaching storm for example.
If I was able, I would wrestle the thing outta her head, and drown it in the toilet for all the pain it gives her.
