What is a migraine?

Migraine is a debilitating condition that often leads to people having multiple days a month where they not only suffer from unexplainable pain but are unable to function heavily impacting their personal goals,social interactions and professional development. Furthermore, it seems that the world due to it’s inability to explain the migraine mechanisms and failing to find a systemic solution has subconsciously pushed the topic onto it’s fringes. Doctors, save precious few specialists, have very limited knowledge about the problem. Society treats migraine headaches as they were normal ones and just some folks being overly sensitive. You can ask online and a plethora of dubious treatments will be offered by quacks. All this leading to people left to soldier through their condition on their own, often stubbed at work, with bags full of harmful painkillers and always on alert if today is another day where I spend it half-consciously in a blacked out room.
