If Married And You've Been Dealing With Chronic Pain For Years How Has It Affected Your Marriage?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

After five years of severe daily migraines that have affected my nervous system and caused pain to spread to other parts of my body, my marriage has suffered greatly. I keep a lot to myself but my husband is still suffering from empathy fatigue. You can only hear about how much pain someone is in for so long before it becomes the same as hearing the weather report. I do as much as I can. I keep the frig stocked and hired a house keeper but it's the emotional support I miss so much. The hugs and… read more

Has Anyone Used TheraSpecs, If So What Was Your Experience? I'm Looking At The Ones That Can Be Worn Over Prescription Glasses
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Bright light is definitely a trigger and even when light wasn't the particular trigger when a migraine starts I often wear sunglasses indoors. I even had to put them on during church Sunday because the sunlight was glaring off of the snow on a hill across the street from our church. The window it was coming in was on the other side of the sanctuary and just barely in my peripheral vision, that was an unwelcome first. I wear sunglasses outside most of the time now too, ever since I had cataract… read more

Who Wants To Join Me In Protesting These New Super Stronger Fragrances In Absolutely Everything?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

If y'all are like me, you can't tolerate these super strong fragrances that they are adding to all products. Recently my "dumb" husband (his words not mine!) accidentally purchased a cleanser for the dishwasher, not paying attention to the fragrance listed in the ingredients. Needless to say I get a migraine everytime the dishwasher door is opened now. We have tried everything suggested on the Internet on how to get rid of the perfume, but nothing has worked for over a month. The chemical… read more
