If you get migraines, you’ll know it’s not “just a headache”, but a neurological attack.

It’s more than “just a bad headache”. A migraine is a neurological condition that causes recurring, moderate to severe head pain, often with other symptoms affecting vision, nausea, and sensitivity to light or sound. 

A lot of the time migraines like these cause you to cancel plans. The hardest part may be trying to explain to people that a migraine is not something you can just “drink water and power through.”
