Absolutely, yes. I began having vicious migraines when I was 7. Way back then there was no treatment for migraines except aspirin (didn't do a thing). By the time I was in my 20's migraines were a determining factor in how I lived my life.
The migraines have lessened in frequency and severity since I've reached middle age - but then, there are meds to treat them now, so maybe they just seem less severe.
I believe that migraines can be (often are) connected to BD. Both are episodic, and so many people who have BD also battle with migraines.
It's interesting that you point out the connection between mania and migraine. I have never even thought of the correlation before! I have to say that, yes - migraines and mania are, without a doubt, connected for me, too.
