It's notable that the university you mentioned discovered and purchased a copy of Migraine Expressions! They must have a significant neurology-related collection! I'm sorry to hear that your children have migraine, too, and I do believe they will not travel the same paths we have!

I’m sorry to hear that your children have migraine, too, and I do believe they will not travel the same paths we have!

I admit frustration in the time it takes to do these studies, but I am encouraged when I hear this kind of news. I'm a fighter, but I need to know there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel. I fight because my kids suffer Migraine as well, and I don't want them to suffer the same journey I have.

It's rather fascinating, isn't it? Thanks, Jasmine – and do you all have similar personality traits, or are you all very different? It’s rather fascinating, isn’t it?

I've definitely had the same questions because both my mother and grandmother were plagued with Migraines. My mother gets them occasionally, but mostly due to environmental factors or over-exertion.
