Migraine disease is always with me. Like it or not, we live together. I learned to accept my burden years ago, and I’ve found ways for us to coexist.

As frustrating as it is, migraine misconceptions are an opportunity to educate.

There are times it feels like a lot of yada, yada, yada to me, too.

In practical terms, migraine stages aren’t always straightforward. Not all migraine warriors experience all stages, and the stages may overlap more than a step-by-step description suggests.

It’s in the way my migraine affects others that those people can be supportive of me.

The bottom line is that if your boss doesn’t understand your illness, then you have a teaching opportunity.

I can avoid the use of triggering odors myself. The problem lies in managing exposure to odors generated by other people.

The noise of the world exhausts me on a good day. On a migraine day, the noise of the world is nauseating, literally.

The bottom line is that what works for me may not work for you, and vice versa. You be you and I’ll be me.
