I've done this about migraine. "Incurable neurological brain condition" gets lots of sympathy, migraine gets "oh boohoo, you have a "headache"".

Anyone who says boohoo has clearly never had a migraine. I’ve only had one once and holy shit. ..that was much more than a headache.

Yeah, saying migraine is "just a headache" is like saying a heart attack is "just a little chest pain". It's one of the most common chronic health problems, and yet it's significantly mocked. So annoying.

If all I get is an aura and 24 hours of disorientation, discomfort, and nausea, I feel like I won the lottery.

I will make exactly one attempt to educate someone who doesn’t treat it seriously. The amount of ignorance and general lack of education and awareness out there is staggering.
