Did You Know June Is Headache/Migraine Awareness Month!?

For thoes that do not know. I began my advacy work, and professional writing career in hopes to get the word out about a condition that I have a personal connection to. Nine years ago, my sister was diagnosed as a chonic cluster suffer, as well a chronic migraine suffer. And like most invisible conditions people assume that the condition, and symptoms, pain ect are made up or exaggerated. It's time to erase the misconceptions, stigma, and assumptions.

It is not something anyone wants to have because they want attention just like it's not "just a headache."
