Okay I promise I will talk more about life in the chronic migraine world, but first I have a link to a lovely (and quite pretty) website that is for women with chronic illnesses of any kind. Click Here. 

Also I wanted to share this series of questions from the site above. I filled it out, but you could send it (without my answers) to a loved one, and ask them to fill it out. Imagine how much more you could learn about them!
