migraine are caused when the chemical sensors in the brain get scrambled kinda like a circuit board sparking out. causing the brain and other motionary sensors to fail (for a while). the brain just "freaks" out causing electrical disterbances to the motor nureo's

like bad eye pain, lack of co ordination etc

in a bad attack some people are left temporary blind and paralized. its not a pleasent thing
