A journalist has spoken of the various difficulties of suffering from migraines, varying from permanently having medication on her person just in case an attack springs upon her to having to abandon weekly shops to go and sit in complete darkness.
"When I was 20, studying at university in Sheffield, I experienced my first migraine," Lydia Bacon wrote for the Liverpool Echo. "Since then it has been extremely difficult to accept them as a part of my day to day life."
"I was actually doing my weekly student shop in Aldi when I started to feel, what I can describe as, ‘extremely weird’. I initially thought it was just a really, really bad headache but I was wrong."
