I miss my loved ones that I lost with time. I wish I could talk back to them or atleast just see them for once in real life. For us, Chronic pain warriors it’s a different kind of suffering , when my father passed away I couldn’t shed a tear. And their absence hurts in a different way. And we can’t pause our illness due to someone passing away. #chronicillness #healingjourney #invisibleillness #pakistan #spoonie

It’s not just a headache.

A migraine is a 4-phase neurological event affecting 1 in 7 people. Here’s what’s actually happening.

➜ 01 — The mechanism
Brain chemistry. Not muscle tension.
A wave of electrical activity (cortical spreading depression) sweeps across your brain at 3mm/min. Vessels dilate. CGRP floods the trigeminal nerve.
💡 This is why painkillers alone often don’t work.

➜ 02 — The 4 phases
Most people know only one.
Phase 1: Prodrome (hours-days before). Phase 2: Aura (5-60 min). Phase 3: Attack (4-72h). Phase 4: Postdrome (24-48h).
💡 Tracking only phase 3 misses 75% of the story.

➜ 03 — The scale
1 in 7 people on earth.
Migraine is the #1 cause of disability for women aged 18-44 globally. ~75% don’t have a diagnosis.
💡 Most people who have it have never been told.

Track all four phases. Your doctor will thank you.
