What doctors don’t tell you
When you are diagnosed with a Chronic Illness, doctors should tell you the symptoms, the side effects, how it can progressively get worse, what treatment is available and maybe they’ll even suggest what to eat, but what they don’t tell you while you’re sitting across from them is how hard the rest of your life suddenly becomes.
They don’t tell you all your favourite hobbies that required a lot of energy might as well be tossed to the side. They don’t tell you all your life goals and dreams get jumbled up and switched around and some even need to be put on the back burners until you’ve found a way to manage your symptoms.

More than a just a headache
Migraines have been associated with brain oedema. When the brain develops oedema it has decreased levels of oxygen and sugar, which the brain needs to function. Migraine triggers are simply any stimulus that activates the brain, further increasing a congested brain’s requirement for oxygen and sugar. To receive these nutrients, the brain must increase its blood circulation.
It does this by opening up, or dilating, the arteries to the brain and within the brain, slowly flushing out the congested brain tissue. This causes temporarily elevated blood/brain pressure and pain, which is the migraine. Once the brain is flushed, the arteries return to normal. This means that a migraine may be a natural and
