In early 2017 I was invited by Amgen and Novartis to participate in their new Speak Your Migraine campaign. After telling my story on film, I felt a fire fuel my passion for migraine advocacy. Thanks to the Speak Your Migraine Network, Stephen and I have been able to reach so many people with migraine. Our story is not unique, yet it is. In the videos below you will learn a little about me and a little about Stephen’s struggle to empathize. It’s been a very tough road for the both of us, but that we’re in-synch, we’re stronger together.
Use the hashtag #SpeakYourMigraine on social media posts to show your support for over 4 Million people with chronic migraine. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, “Migraine is an extraordinarily prevalent neurological disease, affecting 39 million men, women and children in the U.S. and 1 billion worldwide.”
