I struggle with my chronic migraines and have for almost ten years. The misunderstandings that come along with migraines are very frustrating. I find it difficult to be patient with others when they question my current treatment.

In addition to the outside struggles, it’s difficult to continue my daily life when suffering from a migraine. When I was initially working towards a treatment plan, years ago, I was forced onto short term disability. I was a shell of try former vibrant self and worried I’d never be able to properly mother my kids again. Just thinking back on those months fill me with sadness.

I’m very fortunate to have found a doctor to work with me on an ongoing basis to keep my migraines controlled. Unless I shared, you wouldn’t even know I had a condition!

If I can ever be of support to anyone, please don’t hesitate.  Whether it’s you or your loved one who is struggling with finding a treatment plan and illness management style that will work for them, we all support.
