Migraine is a neurological disease. Most of those affected do not notice the disease unless they encounter it in an acute attack. Migraine, especially chronic migraine, is not a simple headache, but one of the worst pain conditions that afflict people. Women in particular are very badly affected. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers migraine to be one of the most seriously disabling human diseases. Sometimes the attack begins with aura symptoms, which are neurological deficits such as flickering visual disturbances, difficulty finding words, speech disorders, tingling sensations, paralysis and disturbances in alertness up to unconsciousness. This is followed by the typical, mostly one-sided, stabbing, throbbing, pulsating, severe headache, which lasts up to three days and requires bed rest. The entire body is affected: those affected also suffer from nausea and/or vomiting, dizziness, exhaustion, hypersensitivity to light and noise, social isolation, despair, hopelessness and depression. Migraine is a primary disease in its own right and is not a symptom of another disorder. Those affected are neither unwilling to work, mentally ill nor are they looking for attention. They just expect not to have to justify themselves, not to be ridiculed and not to be discriminated against because of prejudices. Three affected people describe their illness in the video.
