This isn't a good sign. I hope for Harvin's sake they get this fixed, he's a great player and it's a shame for him to be sidelined.

I have to agree, at least until they determine a cause. They seem to be occurring frequently and seem to be severe. Something is going on, I wonder when the onset for them was. It could also be something as simple as being food related. Aspartame (sp?) fake sugar does it for me, instant migraine.

A lot of migraines are idiopathic (no cause). The problem is that they are not very common in younger men, at least in a serial fashion like this. I'm sure he gets more than adequate medical care and that if there is something there, they've found it.

Wonder if the vikes knew this when they drafted him, or at least if it was this bad.
