How many times have we said, "I wish everyone could have just one Migraine so they'd know what it's like and start to understand?"

I know I've said it myself, and I've heard it from so many Migraineurs who are desperate for family, friends, or coworkers to just understand what a Migraine does to us.

It's already in my Migraine Favorites folder... Thanks Teri.. will be sending the link to some people

Those videos rock! The Christina video hit the closest to home with me, because of the highlighted sound sensitivities. It was so spot on with my own experience that I could swear the people that made the clips had been in MY head. What a great resource!

Too bad Dr. Scalpel the Narrow-minded Twit wouldn't get anything out of seeing this.
