Migraine Myths

I suffered from migraines in elementary school. The doctors at that time told us, "Kids don't get migraines." My mom knew better as she also has them. Now at 65, we're under control! What migraine myths have you been told?

  1. Sometimes it still amazes me that doctors dismiss kids symptoms like this, . Thank goodness that your mom knew better! How long did it take for your symptoms to be under control to where they are now?

    You asked about myths, and I thought you might appreciate this article that one of our community members wrote about migraine myths, https://migraine.com/living-migraine/debunk-misperceptions.

    1. My migraines have almost totally stopped since taking Aimovig! Now at 65 so took about 52 years to get to this point. I was able to discontinue 2 meds. That were to keep them away, just the Aimovig now!

      1. that is wonderful news! I'm so glad that you've gotten to the point where your migraines have almost completely stopped and you've been able to discontinue two of the medications. What a relief that must be for you to finally be at this point! Thank you for sharing your good news!! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
