My Story…
Migraine disease has changed my life.
I have not had a headache-free day in more than eight years. But migraine is not just a headache. At the same time my head is pounding, I’m also being overtaken by fatigue; confusion; nausea; and sensitivity to light, sound, touch, and smell.
These symptoms are so overwhelming that when I began to experience them daily, I became all but bed-ridden. I lost most of my friends, my job, my apartment, and my independence.
I’ve tried every treatment that is reasonable for me. Recently, I’ve had limited success with Aimovig, a new drug designed to prevent migraine attacks — and a direct result of research. But further investment in migraine research is essential if we are to continue developing effective treatments for this disabling disease.
I’ve begun to build a new life around what is possible for me now — but I still have hope that some day, I’ll be able to reclaim what I’ve lost. Please help me by making a donation today.
Donate to help Sarah raise money for Miles for Migraine Race - Philadelphia, 2018’s fundraising campaign.
