How often do you get the migraines? I get them infrequently. My first one appeared in grade school. Now I don't get the pain anymore, but do get all the other symptoms, aura, and yes my mind goes blank. This terrified my family and myself, the doctor diagnosed it as a migraine. So even without the pain the mind stops. Weird, huh! If they are frequent you may want to inquire with your doctor about treating them.
Regarding the muscle pain and tension headaches, (I'm going to sound like a broken record here,) inquire about baclofen. I just take 5-10mg every night and it has made a differnce. Whenever I skip it the aches return, so it isn't a cure but it helps. It does take a couple weeks to feel the real benefits.
Hang in there!
