They are 1. Advanced Pain Management, 3. Before It Manages You. Migraine is a neurological disorder which involves a complicated relationship between the blood supply to the brain and its nerve network. The most common symptom associated with migraine is severe head pain made worse by routine activities such as climbing stairs or bending over.
Most migraine sufferers feel nauseous and some vomit during an attack.
Typically, sufferers are extremely sesitive to light, sound and odours, making ordinary events unbearable. The Migraine Association of Canada is passionately committed to providing quality services and programs to millions of people afflicted with migraine, a serious neurological disorder. The Association provides information and client services, conducts outreach and education, and creates public awareness of the serious nature of migraine, fostering a greater understanding of and compassion for migraine sufferers. The Migraine Association is also leading a campaign to raise funds for research into a cure for migraine. The Migraine Association was founded in 1974 by a severe migraine sufferer, Rosemary Dudley, who saw the need to fill the information gap.
