Kerrie Smyres has lived with migraine and chronic daily headache since she was 11. Now in her mid-30s, Kerrie tries to live by the philosophy that migraine is only one part of her and that there’s much more to her than illness. Some days are more successful than others.
In addition to blogging at The Daily Headache, which she started in 2005, Kerrie enjoys baking, cooking, practicing yoga, dancing, reading (in the form of audiobooks), traveling, crafting, thrifting and watching baseball.
After living in Seattle for six years and Boston for one, Kerrie determined that clouds, rain and weather changes are migraine triggers for her. She and her husband recently moved back to the more stable climate of their hometown, Phoenix, AZ, where she’s enjoying the sunshine and reconnecting with old friends.

"I had my first migraine when I was 12. I thought I was going blind, the spots in my vision all grouped together and everything went black. The pain was intense and felt like my head would crack open above my right eye."
