The postdrome phase of migraine ie. the time between headache resolution and feeling completely back to normal, consisting mostly of fatigue and cognitive disability is an underappreciated contributor to migraine symptomatology.
Disability from migraine is substantial. It is estimated to be the sixth most disabling condition worldwide (Lancet 2015;386:743).
According to a recent study, even after the headache passes, sufferers are not able to perform optimally at work or in school for at least several hours.

Colicky Infants at Risk for Childhood Migraine
Children that presented to the ER with migraine were 6x more likely to have a history of colic during infancy.
It is theorized that colic may represent sensitization of the perivascular nerve terminals in the gut.
Sadly, the brain-gut relation remains one of the least understood and least researched areas of medicine.
