TWO YEARS AND ONGOING
Hi. My name is Ethan. I saw your page on IG now.. wow amazing blog I like it. I've been struggling with migraines for 3 years.. I went to the doctors and they were no help, just told me it's migraine with aura.
I'm so tired of researching the cause and what can help ..if you have any home remedies or items to buy please share. I'm having symptoms every day but have to still push through life. My mom and I don't know what to do. I cried also because nobody is helping me. Everyone just wants money nowadays. Where I live in South Africa, it is very expensive for private.
My parents are not working, only my 2 sisters.. and we earn just enough for us. It's just getting to me 😓 my faith in Jesus is the only thing that helps me get going on. I give all my complaints to him and ask for my healing but in his time not mine... praying also helps....
Please give feedback. You seem like a kind person that's why I trust you.
Thank you for reading
God bless you
