The current thesis aims at understanding the personal and relational experiences of migraine patients. To comprehend the subjective experiences of the migraine qualitative method was chosen. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants who have a diagnosis of migraine. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was applied to analyze the data. In the current thesis, results yielded five superordinate themes that are (1) ambivalent feelings for painkillers, (2) migraine attacks in relation to authority, (3) relational aspects of migraine, (4) methods for coping with migraine, and (5) describing migraine like a person. These emerging themes were discussed from a Lacanian psychoanalytical view.
