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.
