Migraine is a REAL Disease
Did you know that last year more people died from migrainous stroke than by handguns in the United States?Did you know that if you have the worst head pain in your head in your life,You should go to the ER!
I have chronic,daily,transformed migraine.I am never without pain.The pain wakes me up.I wake up in the morning and can't believe I was able to sleep through the pain.
There are people from a walks of life that suffer from migraine and migraine attacks.Lawyers,nurses,teache rs,full time mom's.Children,teenagers.Old, young.The majority are women.
I was one of those people that when someone said they got headaches,oh shutup and just take an aspirin.Believe me,I've paid for those words.
Migraine is a disease.An "Invisible Disease". Not only can it disable you,it can kill you.I've been homebound for over two years.
If you know someone who is a migrainuer,give them the respect they deserve.Their pain is real.They are not looking for attention.In fact, having migraine as a disease is the one way not to get attention.Be there for them.
Many people have gone to the ER for help,only to be turned away or given medicine that they weren't allowed to stay and see if it helped.Because: they need the bed for "real" sick people.
Some people told this,later died.Giving up by taking their own life.
