Fultonian Migraine Story
Last updated: October 2012
Most of her life, my mother had relatively frequent and severe migraine headaches. My sister seems to have inherited migraine disease. She experiences agonizing migraine headaches and is a very active advocate for treatment and research. I usually experience only one or two events per year. Generally preceded by visual auras prior to developing pain, I have an opportunity to take a very hot shower, medicate, and try to sleep. Through this method, I am often able to avoid the extreme pain.
