Something I have struggled with since the age of about sixteen is headaches and migraines. Before that age, I'd never experienced either, but by my mid-teens the headaches started, and gradually over the last fifteen years they've increased in frequency and severity. I avoid talking about my experiences with headaches and migraines because people think "Oh, she's just got a bit of a headache" but a migraine is far, far worse. At my worst, I've been admitted to hospital for my migraines and ended up in A&E on countless occasions because of how bad they get.
