I had migraines, a very simple form, horribly painful one-sided 
headaches, as a side-effect of The Pill, way back when, '65+, about once 
a week or so.  Aspirin, coffee, go to bed.  I valued that Pill, because 
I really didn't want to be pregnant, so I just put up with them.  I've 
always been a headachey person, anyway, but not as painful as those.  I 
think at that time there was only one kind of Pill.  The only other time 
was if I somehow managed to be without coffee for 24 hours or so, and 
those times I felt sick all over, but not nauseated or anything.  I did 
break the caffeine addiction by tapering off onto decaf, very very 
slowly, but decided that I _had_ to have the morning boost, just to live 
a normal life, so took it up again in more limited dosage than I had had 
earlier.
