Happy Friday! 🌞

I’ve decided to lower the price of my Navigating Hemiplegic Migraine ebook to $5.99.

I know how overwhelming and expensive living with hemiplegic migraine can be, and I want this resource to be accessible to more people who need it.

This guide was created from years of lived experience, research, and everything I wish I had known when I was first navigating hemiplegic migraine.

If you’ve been thinking about getting a copy, it’s now available for just $5.99. 🩷

Good morning! 🌞

Because so many women from this group reach out to me privately outside of the group, I’ve decided to offer something a little more structured.

I’m now offering one-on-one peer support conversations for women living with hemiplegic migraine.

Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who understands what you’re going through—someone who has lived it and knows how isolating it can feel.

💙15-Minute Peer Support — FREE

A short, one-on-one conversation to talk, share, ask questions, or simply connect.

https://calendly.com/cherylwarren/new-meeting

💙 30-Minute Peer Support — $30

For those who would like more time for a private conversation.

https://calendly.com/cherylwarren/30-minute-peer-support-30

These conversations are based on my lived experience and years of supporting women with hemiplegic migraine. They are peer support and are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

I’m looking forward to connecting with you one-on-one and continuing to support this community in a more personal way. ❤️

Many of you may not know that I wrote a 49-page guide called ‘𝑵𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑯𝒆𝒎𝒊𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑴𝒊𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒆.’

I created it specifically for people living with hemiplegic migraine and for their families. My goal was to put reliable, easy-to-understand information in one place and help others feel less alone on this journey.

Here’s a look at the table of contents so you can see everything that’s included.

If you think it would be helpful for you or someone you love, I’ll put the link in the comments. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project. It has meant so much to me!! ❤️

I wanted to share a page from "The Emotional Side of Chronic IlIness."

This one's from the chapter on grief — specifically, the kind that doesn't get talked about much: the loss of who you were before illness, without any clear end point to mourn it.

The book pairs research (grief, identity, medical trauma, coping strategies) with what I've learned firsthand over 30+ years of living with chronic illness.🤍

Today, June 16, is International Hemiplegic Migraine Day. 💜

Hemiplegic migraine is a rare and often misunderstood neurological condition that causes temporary weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, alongside debilitating migraine symptoms.

Today is a powerful reminder of how we can make a difference together:

🧠 Raise Awareness: Help others understand the realities of living with hemiplegic migraine.

🫶 Support Others: Practice kindness, listen, and let someone know they are not alone.

📚 Educate Yourself: Take time to learn about the unique symptoms, triggers, and treatments.

🏅 Advocate for Change: Support essential research and advocate for better, more accessible healthcare.

👥 Together We Shine: We are stronger as a community, and brighter together.

Let’s spread awareness, share hope, and lift up the voices of everyone in the WIHMG (Women's International Hemiplegic Migraine Group) community and beyond.💜

June is National Migraine & Headache Awareness Month, and we are turning our feed purple to share the facts, break the stigma, and amplify the voices of millions living with complex neurological diseases. 💜

Swipe through the slides ➡️ to see the data, understand the impact, and learn why a migraine is never "just a headache."

Living with chronic headache disorders can feel incredibly isolating—especially when navigating rare, terrifying variants like Hemiplegic Migraine, which causes temporary one-sided paralysis, speech loss, and symptoms that mimic a stroke.

That is why community and advocacy are everything. We want to shine a massive spotlight on the Women’s International Hemiplegic Migraine Group. Founded out of a need for true connection, this incredible global network supports over 7,000 women worldwide, creating a safe, compassionate, and vital space where patients are truly seen, heard, and understood. ✨

Whether you suffer from classic migraines, cluster headaches, or rare neurological variants, remember: you are not fighting this in the dark. Support enables. Advocacy empowers.

🧬 New Research in Hemiplegic Migraine 🧠

A newly published study by Riant et al. (2026) has identified SCN2A variants as being associated with both familial and sporadic Hemiplegic Migraine.

SCN2A encodes the Nav1.2 sodium channel, which plays a critical role in how nerve cells communicate. Variants in this gene may increase neuronal excitability and contribute to the development of hemiplegic migraine symptoms.

What's especially important is that many people with Hemiplegic Migraine still test negative for the currently known HM genes. Research like this expands our understanding of the genetic landscape of HM and offers hope for improved diagnosis and treatment in the future.

Every new discovery brings us one step closer. 💜
