  • Migraine Stories

Everyone either knows someone who has suffered from migraine, or has struggled with migraine personally.

For many sufferers, migraine interferes with their everyday life – going to school or work, caring for family, participating in sports, or attending social functions. Here are some of their stories.

The stories included here are individual experiences and are not meant to provide treatment advice. Please don’t initiate or change your treatment without consulting a doctor.

If you have a story about living with migraine that you would like to share with us, email us and include your first and last name.
