Q:Migraine: what is it? Is it genetically transferrable, ie, the tendency to have it. My mother had it, I suffer with it and one of my three children has it. What causes the terrible nausea that accompanies the headaches? What are the safest ways to control it? Is there any cure? S. T. Z., Dudley, West Midlands.
