>Others can never know, like going through depression or other mental illnesses, what it is like. I used to hate it at work when so many people would say I have such a bad migraine but would function through their day.
Maryhelen,
This statement is so correct! Today I laughed when my psychiatrist double checked with me if I'm on verapamil for "headaches." I corrected him and said migraines. Why would I take a med every day for "headaches?" The migraine 'aura' -- which for me leads to spatial/visual confusion, word finding difficulties, and an apparent drop in cognition -- is so much more than a headache. In fact, I rarely actually get a 'headache.' On verapamil, I feel so much better.
headaches, shmeadaches
