i have been suffering from migraine for the last 3 years, still am facing regular attacks with severity of pain all the time,

In asian countries like Pakistan, people have no awareness about this headache, majority of them think that its just a lame excuses to ran away from your responsibilities and obligations, just like the children who did it when they did not want to go to school,t hey gave lame excuses like headache,stomach etc...

They didn't realize that migraine itself is a chronic disease, there is only survival, there is no proper treatment, i have tried a lots of meds, but no effects on me, for short period of time, they slow down your severity, but not curable,

Lack of awareness in asian countries, they treat it just like, you are mentally retarded, and you will not ever win with these headaches.

Do they even know what is migraine? whats the meaning of migraine,
Only few can understand what really migraine is? And the rest of the others they realize ,that you are mentally retarded, u can't go ahead in your life further...no future for u.
