Mine peaked in my high school and early college years. I’d get about three a year, often with pseudo stroke symptoms including numbness on one side, partial blindness, and difficulty speaking and reading (which was a really wild...looking at a page and seeing groups of letters but not being able to see them as words). They’d start with the visual aura, then the other symptoms would kick in, then the pain. Thankfully they usually only lasted a few hours. As I got older they gradually became more and more rare and less and less intense. It’s been years now since I’ve had one.

Exactly, precisely what I experienced several times as an adolescent.
