Uncontrollable pain that can ruin lives Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)

Migraine sufferers often say their pain is worst in world. They spend anything from 24 hours to three days suffering unbearable headache, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Their vision is disturbed, they can't eat, they can't stand light and they feel frightened and tired.

More than half said their migraine prevented them from maintaining their relationship with their partner and two-thirds said they felt they could not control their attacks.
