15% seems like an impossible high number. Especially if you realize that 99%* of all headaches are solved by (1) enough sleep, (2) noise plugs (3) drinking enough water.

* don't quote me on this.

you really shouldn't be quoted on this. You can't solve migraines by drinking water and they affect about 20% of women and 5-10% of men. Very debilitating disease and not a sporadic lifestyle issue.

I wouldn't quote you either. Its a self reported "disease" so any % are guess work at best given you didn't just make them up

I didn't just make them up and I didn't refer to self-reports. Population based studies back those estimates.
