Having said that , I do believe there is a particular temperament ( for want of a better word ) that accompanies the ' migraine personality ' , and as someone who comes from a family where each of us who has an artistic bent develops migraines ( my grandmother , my aunt , my mother and my sister -- all artists of one kind or another - all suffer from migraines ) , beyond there being a clear link to hormones ( in our family , at least ) , I have not as yet been offered a sufficient explanation from medical practitioners .
