Migraine Stroke

I came across this article and really felt it was important to post it. I am now 52, but in my 20's I went through much of what the woman in this article did and the doctors had no idea how to help me.

In fact, most of the time I was treated like I was just being over emotional or possibly had emotional "problems".
I remember waking up one morning and the bedroom was upside down.I could not get out of bed. I couldn't go to work. I was not able to get into the car to get to the doctor's. By the time I was able to walk,it was evening,so that meant the E.R. They had no clue. Back then,I never heard the word migraine.
I worry for my daughters now who are experiencing much of what I did and will make sure they get checked out.
Having gone through this and having the auras, along with chronic migraine, I am always searching for new developments to help migraineurs.Not just for me,for my daughters,my grandchildren and for all other migraineurs.
Here is the link to the article.I hope it is helpful:
