Have you ever been afraid of getting a migraine attack? Do you get anxious worrying about when and where your next migraine attack will be? The more often you experience migraine attacks, the more likely it is that you will feel fearful and anxious about your next attack.
There's a word for this fear - cephalagiaphobia - and today we discuss it and a simple word substitution game that you can play with your brain to help keep your fear (and migraine pain and symptoms) in check. We also let you know what's coming up for Migraine and Headache Awareness Week. Join us now!
