Help Janel raise money

For participating in Miles for Migraine - San Diego 2019

My Story…

Hi Friends! Headaches and migraines, I have known them for 15 years of my life so far. That is 50% of my entire life. I have been on 10+ different medications for my migraines since then. The first drug was ibuprofen 800mg, which was prescribed by my pediatrician. Migraines were worst back then as a kid. I remember the excruiciating pain, confusion and depression that they caused. I remember the clumps of hair that I pulled out of my head because I wanted the pain to stop. I would feel so embarrassed when I had some thinned areas of hair. I would have severe nausea and vomiting when these attacks would come. I would have extreme light sensitivity. My eyeballs would sting painfully, like I was allowing the sun's rays to burn my brain. The pressure of my skull caving in on itself. Having a severe migraine episode is one of the most painful things you can experience. Today at 30 years old, still waiting for a cure.
