Help Cheri raise money

For participating in Miles for Migraine - Kansas City, MO 2020

My Story…

I have CHRONIC MIGRAINE DISEASE. For me, the disease is hereditary. Before treatment, I had a migraine EVERYDAY. Some were less severe than others, but every morning, I would wake up with pain. It’s hard to function with constant pain. It took YEARS to finally get the treatment I needed - that I DESERVED. On a BAD DAY, I lie in bed, in the dark while tears flow down my face. The pain feels like a nail is being driven through my eyes while my head is in a vice. I pray for the sweet release of death. My SCARIEST DAY was driving home from work when I yelled at a passing driver. The words in my head that I was saying so strongly were coming out as GIBBERISH!! Is this a stroke? No, it’s a silent migraine. How would I explain my EVERY DAY? I would tell you about aura. Really it should be called “seeing weird shit” that would creep out any normal person - Random feelings of vertigo – Dietary restrictions – Knowing it could be worse – We need to find a cure!
