Migraine Awareness Month: Your First Migraine

I was in fourth grade. I remember waking up with a headache and feeling awful. I told my mom that I wasn’t feeling well and she thought i had a virus or something so I stayed home from school. But the next day I still wasn’t feeling better, so my mom took me to the doctor. Since my mom has migraines and they also run in my family the doctor thought i had migraines. Since i was so young, there wasn’t much safe to take so she suggested Exedrin. And WOW! it worked really well. I remember taking it and then about 30 minutes later i was out in the front yard hula-hooping! I also remember being really embaraseed because my bus came by when I was out, and the next day the kids acusing me of skipping school. 

And that was the beginning of my Migraines!
