To show how debilitating Migraines and its symptoms can be the New York Governor checked himself into the hospital today due to the pain associated with migraine-like symptoms in a clear example of how debilitating these neurological disorders can be.

"New York State Gov. David Paterson checked himself into hospital on Tuesday with symptoms of a migraine headache and preliminary test results were normal, the governor's office said."

"He is now resting comfortably and will undergo further tests during the course of the day," it said in a statement.

People misleadingly call Migraine attacks "headaches" when it is much more than that, and the governor knows just that. Migraine "headaches" are actually caused by the inflammation in the head and is the result of neurological disease-like disorder which causes intense pain, light sensitivity, nausea and more - it can ruin your day or sometimes last a week long, slowly building and then climaxing in intense periods of nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.

Symptoms of Migraine and its signs include moderate to severe pain, head pain, pain that worsens with physical activity, pain that interferes with your regular activities, nausea with or without vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound.

Mayo Clinic reports that "Fortunately, management of migraine pain has improved dramatically in the last decade. If you've seen a doctor in the past and had no success, it's time to make another appointment. Although there's still no cure, medications can help reduce the frequency of migraine and stop the pain once it has started. The right medicines combined with self-help remedies and changes in lifestyle may make a tremendous difference for you."

Treatment of Migraine is done by Pain-relieving medications and Preventive medications. These types of drugs are taken regularly, often on a daily basis, to reduce the severity or frequency of migraines.
