My Story

The first migraine I ever experienced was 31 years ago. I was 10, sitting in a movie theater and the worst pain I ever felt over took me. I become violently ill.

From that moment on, I have had migraines. I never not have a headache and have a full migraine at least 2 times a week.

I have been to doctor after doctor, treatment after treatment with no real relief.

After 31 years, I am still trying to find relief.
