She has no warning or aura of the headache beginning. She has severe throbbing pain in her head on one side with photophobia (discomfort increased with light), nausea, vomiting, and she can only get relief by lying down in a dark, cool environment, placing a cool compress on her forehead and taking over-the-counter ibuprofen.
