On the other hand, you might get extremely happy, downright giddy and elated only to come crashing down with a severe headache a short while later. If migraines became a problem after an injury, that could possibly have impacted something personality wise. Another culprit can be the medications used to prevent and abort migraines.

Nausea and other stomach troubles can make it awfully difficult to eat right and function normally. And then there's auras.
