My family and colleagues think I use my migraine problem as an excuse to neglect my responsibilities at home as well as at work. As this is definitely not true, how do I make them understand what I go through?
Sure, that is quite unfortunate. Perhaps, you could explain to them that because migraine patients are capable of functioning normally and quite well between the attacks, it is difficult for others to understand how you can be well in one minute and then really unwell in the next. Also, you would really appreciate their understanding and support in this matter.
