"Migraine is heart-breaking for migraine sufferers and affects all areas of life. From always feeling like you're letting people down, not knowing if a plan or event made will be able to happen (until it happens), thinking about a family, feeling like you are a shadow of your former self, and feeling guilty about missing work - it never goes away."
