migraines
- 1Plural of migraine.
She has suffered from severe migraines since her teenage years.
The new medication cut the frequency of his migraines in half.
Note
A plural that counts attacks: each one is a single severe headache, so words for frequency and severity attach naturally to it. The singular works two ways, as a countable noun for one episode (a migraine) and as an uncountable noun for the neurological condition itself (living with migraine). For the disorder, either form is idiomatic. For how often it strikes, use the plural.
