Any movies portraying migraine?
Hi - my family are huge movie/TV watcher (I know, bad pastime). But at the end of the day, that is usually what we do. Last night we watched a movie and a person sort of had a migraine (turned into a tumor), but similar symptoms (turn off the light, shut up!). Does anyone know is there is a movie where a character sufferers from migraine in the storyline. Not a You Tube info - they won't watch those. But like a movie. It might help them. Thanks in advance. -Lisa
Hi
I don't think watching movies and/or TV is a bad pastime at all. I find it comforting to decompress from the day by watching TV and/or a movie.
Off the top of my head (no pun intended) I'm not aware of a movie centering on migraine. Hopefully others will be along soon to share their thoughts with you.
How are you feeling today? I'm sending you wishes for a low pain day, Nancy Harris Bonk, Patient Leader/Moderator (team member)Thank you!
- what an amazing way to educate your family about migraine disease and what you go through. I know of a documentary that may be of interest - https://www.brainandlife.org/articles/new-film-explores-migraine Out of My Head. Also - the Amer Migraine Assocn has this on their site that may help - https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/the-impact-of-migraine-told-in-film/ Another documentary (if you are into those) is https://lundbeckfonden.com/news/documentary-living-with-migraine-and-the-battle-better-brain-health I surely hope you find what you are looking for. It can be quite difficult to have family and friends understand this chronic medical disease. Sending you thoughts of health and well-being. Rebecca (team member) Thank you!
