Female Migraine

i am 23 and had my first episode about two yrs ago. I have never had a head ache before that. my vision was the first thing to effect me, i couldnt see due to the lightning bolt type object blocking my vision, after that my hand went numb then i couldnt speak well. i was told it was probably the birth control i was on so i stopped taking it. I got another one a year late, i got a ct and it came back fine. i then was told by a doc that it was because of hormones. Now i have been getting the lightning bolt in my vision which goes away after about 10 mins then my left or right fingers will go numb. i have one right now, obviously not horrible, but i am still really scared that it could be something serious. Does anyone know what this may be? something other then a migraine?? Any meds that will fix them on the spot?

I am a 38 yo female and about 2 years ago I started getting migraines. Did some research and started taking things like: borage oil, norwegin salmon oil, evening primerose oil, black cohosh, and about 7 other ones. Also progesterone cream 2 weeks before my period. If I get lazy and don't take my vitamins I get the migraines to the point of throwing up. I'm not an expert but this is what works for me. My poor 11 year old nephew gets gnarly migraines too, doctors says the underlying cause is hormones too, and we're trying to figure out what works for him.
