Have you experienced migraine stigma? In this video, migraine warrior Kerrie with The Daily Headache points out how migraine stigma is found everywhere: at the doctor's office, at work and school, and even among family and friends. Because of this we tend to self-stigmatize. We may even believe that this disease, or how it impacts us, is our own fault, which is NOT true! We often hide our experiences and pain, but by not talking about it, we add to the stigma that is so pervasive. Let us know if you have experienced stigma! Do you blame yourself for feeling the way you do? How hard is it for you to share what life with migraine is really like? #migraine #migraines #stigma
