Keep in mind that the pain from a migraine ranges from mild to "OMFG!" and often for me, when I get migraines, it's almost like being hung-over and goes on for a couple of days. It might be something to have the doctor check out.

Oh, and you're not too old for sex.
I definitely had one of those a year ago. It was a really bad headache. I thought it might be a stroke or something.

Normally I just have an ordinary headache the next day. When I was younger, one of my friends described the after effect of LSD as "feeling like you only have one brain cell working". That's how I feel a day or two after sex. Or another description would be like having a hangover from drinking too much - nausea, weakness, shakiness. I think it triggers depression in me.

All these things have been getting worse as I age. Maybe I will try to abstain from all sexual activity. IDK The sexual frustration can be exhausting and depressing too. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.

EDIT: Probably abstinence is the solution for me. I've done that before, and the body acclimates over a couple of months so that it isn't as hard. My libido is pretty low anyway.
