*offers to share her extra-dark chocolate and dark, quiet hidey-hole for migraines*
I'd say the pain's the least part of a migraine, that the other effects are far worse. Which, for me... sensitivities to light, sound, touch, and smell, brain-fog, can't regulate temperature quite as well, and sometimes nausea. Visual artifacts like bright little tiny specks that swim around in my field of vision are more aura, and they give way to nausea and extreme sensitivity to light and sound, as well as all the rest of it.
Chocolate (dark, 70% cocoa content or better) seems to help me, at least. And dark and quiet.
