Migraine Awareness Week: 24th-30th September
This year’s Migraine Awareness Week is about providing better care for the 1 in 7 adults and 1 in 10 children who suffer with migraines. It aims to stop migraines being considered as ‘just a headache’, and focuses more on the impacts that living with a migraine can actually have on a person’s life. You can help by joining in on social media, fundraising and getting involved in your local community. To find out more about how to get involved, please follow the link below. https://migrainetrust.org/news/migraine-awareness-week-2023/
Migraines can be difficult to live with, so knowing how to help with the symptoms might be useful. You can try to sleep or lie down in a dark room, avoid things that trigger your migraines, drink plenty of water, try to stay within a healthy weight range, try to manage your stress, and more. To find out other ways to help your migraines, or what to do if you think you have migraine symptoms, you can visit the NHS website.
