Understanding Even When YOU Don't Have Migraines

The difference between auditory processing and written process learners is so dramatic that we should always remember that we have some of both around. My DH does SO much better than I do with audiovisual learning, where as I'm the kid with the highlighter.

To have the information in both forms so that everyone got a crack at the info in this particular podcast seemed SO right to me. If we're asking other people to understand what we go through, we probably should do it in a way that's going to be conducive for them to fully process, pause, and replay.

For me, it was nothing that I hadn't heard before, but it was also pretty powerful to hear the words spoken and to see him nodding and putting all the information together to further his grasp on what's going on in Jamie-land

I find your passage so very true, I've suffered from migraines now for almost 20 years, 2/3 of my life. this past year I was actually hospitalized for 3 days, and with much time off of work. I actually heard the comment "It's all in your head" For people to truly understand your pain and suffering is very hard to explain to someone who has never had one. Or that is uneducated about what migraines are and what they can do to you. If only they really knew!                         

                Don't stop till we educate the world that this is a disease not just a headache!!
