Migraine Awareness Week Sept 5-11

Let's talk about it. I know we all know what migraines are, but what exactly is "Migraine Awareness Week?"

Migraine Awareness Week is a time to broaden the awareness behind the subject of migraines, as well as other headache related diseases. This is a week where we encourage those who are affected by it, to seek deeper routed assistance and treatment through their health care providers as well as help promote others to do the same.

Did you know? In the United States alone, migraines affect around 39 million people including men, women and children. It is the 3rd most prevalent illness in the world affecting a little over 1 billion people worldwide.

Migraines can become serious and debilitating for many. More than 90% of those affected have reported to be unable to do the simplest of physical tasks due to the pain and pressure in ones head or even attend work due to its affect on the physical body.

Some of the symptoms of a migraine can range anywhere from:

extreme nausea
feeling weak and exhausted
sensitivity to light or sound (hence migraine sufferers prefer to rest in dark and quiet rooms)
pounding and throbbing in head areas

Migraine sufferers may also experience other symptoms such as:

inability to concentrate
changes in body temperature from feeling very hot to extremely cold
stomach pain or cramps
diarrhea
stiff neck and shoulder pain
stress and anxiety

It has been shown that the duration of a migraine can last anywhere from from a few hours up to 72 hours depending on the severity. If your symptoms are lasting over 72 hours it is recommended to seek medical attention. Talk to your physician if your treatment plan is best suited depending on your lifestyle as many factors come into play when it comes to migraine triggers such as diet, stress, environment etc.
