Migraine awareness week
Migraine is often misunderstood, downplayed and stigmatised.
People with migraine often hear, “it’s just a headache, it can’t be that bad,”
In reality, migraine can impact every aspect of life, from education to family life, career opportunities to life experiences.
The most common symptoms of a migraine attack include:
Moderate or severe headache
Being very sensitive to light, sounds and smells
Feeling sick (nausea) and being sick (vomiting).
