I don't have traditional migraines either. I've never had the vomiting, stabbing, etc. I do have a sensitivity to light and sound and I have lots of triggers, mostly smells and sleep paterns. When it's really painful, I'll have very little memory of things that happened during that week. I will have the traditional migraine occasionally which will last for four days. I admit I do drink caffiene. I went two years without it, or any carbinated drinks for that matter, and it didn't make any difference.
Right now my doctor doesn't know if the blackouts are related to the migraines. All I know is that I overheat before I blackout. I've had my blood pressure tested, heart, hormones, all normal. So, I'm focusing on the migraines for now.
