One of the saddest aspects about migraine from my perspective is that it doesn’t discriminate when it comes to age. In part one of this article, I mentioned the devastating realization that I’d passed the disease onto at least two of my children. Since my own earliest childhood memories are of having incapacitating attacks, I was no stranger to what they were experiencing. However, as hard as it is for an adult to live with it, trying to navigate childhood migraine brings its own unique set of challenges.
I recently sat down with my oldest son, Joel, and talked about how migraine has impacted his life. What it was like growing up not only watching me in pain, but then dealing with it himself.
