How old were you when you had your first migraine?

Was wondering wether an option for sex might have been valuable, then you might have been able to see if age and periods / menopause was linked as well?
Just a thought.
I started having stomach migraines when I was 13 and migraines in my head around 14 or 15. I still have both stomach migraines and migraine headaches every day. My triggers are lights, noise, smells.
I was told age 6 I had migraines in the tummy! I have never stopped with tummy pain- now they say ibs and I have severe adheesions of the Bowel and other bits and constant migraines! I feel your psin
My first memory of one, I was 8, but my Mum said I suffered with the regularly from a toddler, used to scream the place down! When I was 21 I was sent home and subsequently sacked from my job because they thought I was drunk, I had the worst migraine ever, went straight to the GP (you could then lol!) he sent me straight to the hospital as he thought I'd had a mini stroke, turns out I'd had a Hemiplegic Migraine attack! And so at 21 I was diagnosed with Familial Hemiplegic Migraines too! (Not strictly a migraine as its considered a neurological condition)
I would like to see how that 24+ range splits out between the decades, up to say 60. And the teen years, that looks like hormones might be playing a part, so let's see more detail there too!
