The Many Faces of Migraine
Sometimes a migraine attack slowly increases and lasts for only 4 hours. Another time it suddenly strikes the patient out of nowhere and leaves him incapacitated for 72 hours. Just as unpredictable as the duration, pain intensity and triggers are, so diverse are the marks they leave behind on the mind and soul of the affected person.
Migraine Headache Specialist are often consulted too late
Far too many OTC painkillers are swallowed in self-medication to fight the attacks. The patient does not realize that he or she entered a vicious circle where at the end awaits a chronic drug-induced headache.
