Dealing with Migraines, My Story

Migraine Poem

Migraine Aura Foundation

Migraines are more than just a simple headache. If you have any of these symptoms, please, contact your doctor.

The term "migraine" refers to a syndrome of vascular spasms of the cranial blood vessels. Symptoms of a migraine attack may include heightened sensitivity to light and sound, nausea, auras (loss of vision in one eye or tunnel vision), difficulty of speech and intense pain predominating on one side of the head.
It's not pain you're likely to forget if you've ever experienced it. The excruciating throb of a migraine, often accompanied by nausea or sensitivity to light and sound, can be brutally painful. As anyone who's suffered a migraine can tell you, these headaches, when left untreated or treated ineffectively, can disrupt every aspect of a person's life, from the ability to work to day-to-day activities and relationships. They can eventually lead to a loss of self-confidence, sense of control and self-esteem.

If you think you might be suffering from Migraines, talk to your doctor.
