Migraineur. One who has migraines.

Every time I hear this word, my brain jumps to connoisseur and flaneur, and it just pisses me off. As though having migraines was some kind of lifestyle choice. As though their victims compare notes about their finer qualities. As though there were some masochistic pleasure to be had in the delectation of the experience of the migraine.

Also, it just sounds dumb.
