Migraines are so debilitating and prevent me from living my daily life during an attack! Worst part is that it's an "invisible illness" and some people think regular panadol will fix it!!

Migraines effect productivity and puts a strain on the health budget.

I have migraines since I was 20 years old. I am know 68 and still dealing with them. Migraines have a significant negative impact on my life.

I just had 13 days straight with a migraine. I had to still work and act as if everything was normal because everyone thought it was just a headache.

Migraine is a debilitating condition that causes massive workplace absences, social isolation, anxiety for sufferers regarding pain and the prohibitive cost of treatment. It should be treated like any other chronic illness with affordable treatment options.

Please recognise this debilitating condition with access to affordable medication and for those severely effected daily, make it easier to apply for disability pension! The pain is real !!

Suffered for years , it's debilitating and is not just a headache .

Medications and treatments need to be more affordable to help sufferers have quality of life while living with this debilitating condition. If we have reasonably priced access to the treatments we need we can be more productive for our families work and community

The impact migraine has had on my life is indefinable. It affects the people closest too me aswell. Social isolation, anxiety and depression have all become a part of my life. I feel life i am not an independent person any more and always need backup, its soul crushing and I feel unheard. Help has been denied. I feel at at loss with the medical system. Frustration and lack of understanding except by those who have seen it first hand.

Migraine has taken countless moments that would have been precious memories with everyone I love in my life! Most painfully are all of the times I have and will continue to miss with our only child, a beautiful six year old boy who has had to see his mother extremely unwell far too much. My migraine symptoms were misdiagnosed and untreated for over decade. After my son was born my symptoms increased beginning to have stroke like symptoms, I still waited almost 4 years to see a neurologist. A neurologist who has apologised that my symptoms were misdiagnosed and mistreated as he believed I wouldn’t now be living with three subtypes of chronic migraine if I had been placed on correct treatment years ago.
