My story.

I have migraines. I have them about two times a week. I have missed a ton of school. I feel like no one understands the emotional and physical pain that a migraine can give you except the people who get them.

I feel like people think I am weak because I have to miss things because of my migraines because they think they are just little headaches. I feel like people are "making fun" of me because of my migraines. I know that migraines are not just little headaches they are more than that anyone that gets them knows that. Migraines are not something funny they are serious. I guess I just had to get that off my chest. Thank you for reading.
