ORIGINAL: lizi That's what I've heard, I don't have them but I'm aware that they are serious and have a wide variety of awful symptoms. To be fair to the OP's, I'm wondering if this slave is a bit of a martyr and is saying she can still carry on, but wanting them to be convinced as it were that she is in pain and perhaps that will matter to them that she cares enough to go on with things even though she's not in top form. Because if the migraines were indeed debilitating it would be as you said Miss A, a situation where the slave couldn't really carry on with her day. So I'm just wondering if what is irritating here is that the slave is putting on a bit of a show and perhaps exaggerating her condition...? Honestly, that would irritate the heck out of me, having someone put on the wounded bird act. I think the answer here perhaps lies in whether the slave is really ill or saying she's ill. I could certainly be wrong... Obviously, she is trying to continue on. It is really difficult for someone who has never had a migraine to really understand. Not your fault, lizi, and you are lucky to have never had one. She may be trying to gauge their reaction as well. Based on their ignoring the fact that she suffers from migraines, she may never return after her visit home. Migraines are different for each person, even though there are common symptoms. I'm lucky that I can usually avoid the vomiting part, but not always. When it has gotten that bad, some part of your brain says that if you vomit you will feel better. When you are vomiting, you don't notice the pain as much, but as soon as you are done heaving, it is often worse. Many people become very sensitive to light and sound. For me, it is sound and scent. Yea, all you want to do is crawl in bed or whatever you can do to make it better, but sometimes that just isn't feasible. Just like any other illness, sometimes there are priorities that come first (children come to mind). What's more important here is that the OP have been told that this woman suffers from debilitating migraines, and rather than consider her pain as she continues to attempt to make a good impression on them, they are annoyed that she is wincing in pain. I can only imagine how annoyed they might be if she had to stop to go vomit every few minutes. Being inconsiderate of someone's illness when you are planning any kind of relationship with them is just rude.
