   That's a little young for migraines, but not unheard of.  I sympathize   
   _greatly_ with her (I'm a migraine sufferer, but thankfully not too often),   
   and can highly commend you to the new class of migraine drugs that are around   
   nowadays.  We have one here in the US called Imitrex that I swear by.  The   
   generic name (so you can identify if you have it over there) is sumatriptan   
   succinate.   
      
   Seriously, for anyone who has migraines who hasn't tried this stuff yet, it's   
   a freakin' miracle drug!  Run, do not walk, to your doctor for a   
   prescription!
