Faces of a Migraine: beyond the headache.

Before, i use to think that having a migraine is just like having a headache, until having a Migraine became part of my everyday life. my chronic illnesses, predisposes me to having a migraine almost on a daily basis. 

A Migraine is not just about headache, it goes beyond that.



there are these army of symptoms that "breaks" you up even hours before the headache comes up. you may experience few or most of this symptoms. they are as follows,

fatigue, sensitivity to light, sound and touch. nausea, dezziness, abdominal pains, irratability,numbness,  clumsiness and confusion... and the list goes on depening on the individual. having a migraine is among the worse feeling ever. it is however hard to know when when a migraine is coming up, because the symptons are always somehow tricky. pain medication can help, a great deal, but not always, drinking alot of water, resting and being in the dark helps.

when someone is having a migraine never say its just a headache. it goes beyond that.

Salaam, Peace
