As some of y’all know, June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. Here is what some individuals who experience migraine have to say.
I asked each individual 4 questions: -Are you chronic or episodic? Episodic is where an individual has 0-14 headache days per month. Chronic is when an individual has 15+ headache days a month with at least 8 being migraine for at least 3 months. -How long were you experiencing migraine before getting diagnosed? -What gets you through your hard migraine attacks? -If you have any advice for someone newly diagnosed with migraine, what would it be? Here are the responses! Are you chronic or episodic? Of all who answered, 11 are chronic, 0 are episodic. Of the 11 who are chronic, 1 experiences mostly ocular attacks and 2 are chronic, intractable. 1 individual first started experiencing intractable, chronic migraine starting at 52-years-old. How long were you experiencing migraine before getting the correct diagnosis?
What gets you through your hard migraine attacks?
If you have any advice for someone newly diagnosed with migraine, what would it be?
