Christina,

 

There is growing evidence that Migraine may well be a progressive disease that can cause brain damage. Research on this topic is ongoing. Here are a couple of articles with what we know at this point:

 

      •  Is Migraine a Progressive Brain Disease?

      •  Yes, Migraines Can Cause Brain Damage

 

Hope this is the information you're looking for,

Teri
