I would never throw shade on someone with a migraine diagnosis. That is some serious s__t and unless you have had that experience, you cannot judge at all.

Thank you. I look at it as it's not her fault, and she can't help it. She didn't ask for them and has had them since her teenage years.
It's only in the last 4-5 years that they have gotten this severe, and she has to be careful with anything she tries.
About 3 years ago, they tried a preventative medecine and she had a very bad allergic reaction that was diagnosed as Steven Johnson's syndrome.
Her body's immune system basically attacked itself. She couldn't eat solid food for 3 months.
If you have a strong stomach, just Google that reaction. It's like a severe burn patient. And what you see externally is also going on internally.
And once you get it, the chances of it happening again are very high....with fatal results. You have to be very careful of any medecine or supplement.
She made a full recovery, but now can't take much of anything to try and combat her diagnosis. Botox has helped, but isn't a cure.
But she makes the best of it as she can. And all I can do is be there to support her.
