Who gets migraine?

There may be 3 or 4 children in your class that get migraine; it's more common than you think.

You are not alone!

Both boys and girls can have migraine. Sometimes boys 'grow out' of it as they get older but more girls start to suffer from it as they get older. If someone in your family has migraine, for example your mum or grandad, then you may be more likely to suffer from it as migraine can run in families.
