Chronic Migraine Awareness

Chronic Migraine Awareness would like to thank Carla Richards

Myth: Having an amazingly full life is not possible with Migraine disease.

Truth: I learned that when I redefine my visions of what a good life looks like, I can look back and realize that I have been truly blessed, despite migraine, which I have lived with since childhood and I am now 63 years old.

Action: I realized that redefining my vision of what was a good life would help me to give myself the grace when I needed to seek out relief, rather than doing what I thought I should be doing. Taking care of myself IS what I should do. This helped to take away my stress about being ill, which in turn helped my pain.
