For those of you who experience Migraines, are any of you NOT affected by the stigma attacked to Migraine disease? I doubt it. The stigma is pervasive, even in today’s supposedly better educated and informed society.
We get it at work, at school, even at home and at church.
Now there’s research showing how that stigma affects us. It’s pretty startling, and it’s pretty sad. A new Migraine podcast posted today on www.MigraineCast.com is part one of two about Migraine and stigma. This podcast has two Migraine specialists who conducted the research and are willing to speak openly and honestly about stigma.
For some truth about Migraine and stigma, check out Migraine and Stigma, Part 1, on MigraineCast.

I am glad that experts find it a topic worth researching. People are stigmatized for many reasons, and migraine is certainly one of them.
I’m glad they are too. I’m also glad they’re willing to take the time to do things like that podcast.
