With lots of new treatments and even more on the horizon there's now light at the end of the migraine tunnel. #MigraineMeans #MigraineAwarenessWeek
Life with chronic / episodic migraine makes you focus on the essentials and what really matters to you. #MigraineMeans #MigraineAwarenessWeek
I had a migraine start in the middle of teaching yesterday. It’s been years since I had one and it stopped me in my tracks. Timely, I guess, for #MigraineAwarenessWeek
An embroidery on deep purple linen. There is a purple outline of a feminine right hand from the side, palm up, fingers curled slightly inward. There are many tiny white French knots covering the fingertips and light blue, gold, and navy French knots on parts of the palm. There are fine filigree lines connecting many of the French knots and white strands of thread strung from each fingertip to an apex above the hand. There is a starburst floating above the palm in white and light blue.

Life with chronic / episodic migraine is like a box of chocolates - when you open them, half are gone and you can only hope you're left with more than just the nuts. #MigraineMeans #MigraineAwarenessWeek
Migraine Awareness Week:
Migraine is thought to affect around 1 in 7 people in the UK yet it often goes undiagnosed and unrecognised. Only about 3% of adults are recorded as having migraine.

Oh hey, my migraines are very keen to celebrate #MigraineAwarenessWeek
Utterly bizarre dreams, too.
Speaking of which, gonna try for more.
An embroidery of the venations of the eye stitched in blues, greens, and purples on bone coloured cloth. In a circle outlining the eye is a poem that can be read starting on any word: behind her blue green eyes were fine lace webs so she could see purple mist opening.
#SciArtSeptember Day 23: scouting • A big part of scouting is looking at details. This #SciArt #embroidery—eye poem (2016)— is of the venation of the eye and features a circular poem. It also fits with #MigraineAwarenessWeek since my migraines are around my right eye.

My first migraine aura: #MigraineAwarenessWeek #MigraineMeans
An embroidery on bone white linen. There are many coral-like neurons in the vague shape of a brain embroidered in shades of blue. The bottom section is navy blue and transitions to a lighter blue at the top. The text at the bottom reads: she was tributaries, all electric.
It’s #MigraineAwarenessWeek. I started getting migraines with the onset of #MECFS. My #SciArt #embroidery she was tributaries (2016) depicts the electrical storm I feel in my brain with a #migraine.
During #MigraineAwarenessWeek, we highlight the often-overlooked link between migraine and neurodivergence. Research and lived experience show frequent overlap.
