My Story…
Dear Friends, If you know me, then you are aware of the challenges my family and I face with Migraine disease. While I feel so very fortunate to be doing amazing work in our community, I am still very aware of the challenges for so many. I consider myself lucky to be a full-time employee of Miles for Migraine and love my work and this community!
I have gone to Capitol Hill for the past 7 years to lobby for more research and policy for this disabling disease. But when I heard the stories from Vets who have served our country, I was saddened by how little recognition and care they receive. They have fought for our country, and it is our duty to support them. Perhaps that’s why one veteran likened migraine to the “new PTSD.” Despite the prevalence of migraine disease and headache disorders, getting optimal treatment can be difficult.
Among Veterans treated within the VA health system:
1.6 million are diagnosed with a headache disorder
621,000 are diagnosed with migraine
77,000 are diagnosed with post-traumatic headache or traumatic brain injury plus headache.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
