I think somehow, there needs to be more doctors and experts talking about migraines to the world. There's not much on the TV concerning Migraine disease. It's not even looked at as a disease that I see. I beleive people need to know, so they understand it's "not just a headache." I do have the article, "For those who don't get it." But, I think for families and everyone............it needs to be addressed more.

I mean I for one was treated like crap because I couldn't work with them. I had to quit, but I was also ridiculed for having migraines. That's not right. I don't think it's fair for anyone to go through that. Even with FMLA, there are still co-workers and bosses that "just don't get it", and treat migraineurs, like it's nothing. They advertise diabetes and and breast cancer, and depression medication, but they really need to have more information about "what" migraine disease means.
