Yes they do
Are you pushed away by family and friends--isolated--do people come to visit with you, call you, or invite you to community events? I write and speak on TBI and PTSD. This is isolating is not unique. People still today as in biblical times claim that anyone having a mental defect has a demon within. We do not. This is total ignorance.
I am working on a book now dealing with TBI, PTSD, ADHD, and maybe migraines but I need input and would like some answers on how your lives are and how do… read more

Mine doesn't work for my migraines
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.

You are lucky to have a husband that cares that much.
I highly recommend the book “Heal Your Headaches” by David Buchholz MD. This book has made such a difference in my life. I followed his Migraine Elimination Diet and discovered my migraines were… read more
Yes. My head will throb sometimes. That's how severe my migraines get. Throbbing pain. It's like a hammer is repeatedly hitting me on my forehead.
