Sent the link to my mom who has been suffering from migraines for 5 years. She tried every drug imaginable with very limited improvements. At one point she spoke about ending her life because it was unbearable. She’d get migraines 3 or more times per week, some lasting for 3 hours and some for 3 days. She would frequently call me saying she’s probably going to die now, that’s how bad it was. She saw many neurologists, including the one at Mayo Clinic mentioned in the article, to no avail. Part of me wished for her to go into peace and quiet because I knew it would end her suffering but the other part didn’t want to lose her. She is still kicking alive and well and finished her nursing degree at 55... I don’t know how she did and still does it but I know I will likely never meet a stronger person. I have had maybe a handful migraines my whole life and when they do come around I can’t imagine living with that. If for some reason this is a genetic condition that comes with age, I can’t say for certain that I would choose to live if I were affected.
