Migraine Awareness Month 2023

Episodic Migraine is common. Most people have, or have had, or know someone with MIGRAINE.
But why do some migraineurs become
CHRONIC (15 or more migraines a month
for 3 or more months)? Often, this is a
consequence of inadequate migraine treatment. It is crucial to manage this
neurological event PROACTIVELY & AGGRESSIVELY. It’s important to medicate appropriately at the START
of the event. Waiting is not recommended. If your migraines have a new and unusual symptom, following up with your medical provider is critical.
Migraine is most frequently a hereditary ailment, often starting in childhood or puberty. But, if you have no hereditary factor, a full workup is in order – you could have an anatomical abnormality.

Chronic Illness Truth

Truth is humbling and embarrassing. You get it when you *get it.*

I remember in my later 30’s when I felt my normal life slipping away, a Saturday where I suddenly could not complete my weekend to do list – collapsing in bed face first I wailed dramatically to my Marc: “What is happening to me!?”
