From Migraine Forum: Does anyone get like this?

Way before i ever get a headache i get nausious. My boyfriends car makes it worse. then i want to sit somehwere and sleep. and when i sleep all then noise in the world can be going on and i cant hear it. but if i move or someone touches me or a smell gets to me or there are flourescent lights my body feels like crap again. last night i got lilke this. i went to a party and fell asleep on the couch. people were asking me if i was okay but i ignored them. moving a finger made me nausious. but just lying still i felt no pain. then my boyfriend said we were leaving. i could barely walk. got in the car and the smell in his car vent made me sick again. i started crying because i didnt want a headache. i wanted to jump out of the car at a stoplight and lie down on the sidewalk and sleep. but i didn't. went home and my boyfriend got me a big bag of ice to put on my head, advil, and i changed into practically nothing, because i felt incredibly hot. i didnt get a headache and i was soooo happy. but i think somehting in his car is a trigger cause i borrowed his car for like 6 weeks and was sick all the time. i would want to sleep all the time. now most of the time i'm nausious.

does anyone get like that?
