#day8 of #mham2017 is a #tbt to Headache on the Hill 2017! It was an amazing experience to be a patient advocate for migraines and chronic pain. Read more about my experience lobbying in DC on my blog! http://chronicmigraineellie.blogspot.com/2017/02/headache-on-hill-2017.html?m=1 (at Washington, District of Columbia)

#day6 of #mham2017 is about chronic fatigue and energy problems! I'm going to be doing a post on spoon theory later this month, but I thought that this was too funny to not post! Just a bit of insight into the difficulties of having energy problems with a chronic illness. (at Washington, District of Columbia)

#day4 of #mham2017 is about support systems. I would not be where I am without my friends and family. They are there for me during both good and bad times. Having amazing people beside you makes chronic illness a bit easier to deal with, and makes to good times even better. So much love for my Wes family ❤️ (at Wesleyan University)

#day2 of #mham2017 is a blog post titled "What Are Migraines Anyways?" Did you know that more than 37 million Americans suffer from migraines and an estimated 2-3 million people suffer from chronic migraines? However, these numbers don't reflect the fact that some people have experienced migraines but have written them off as "really bad headaches." In order to promote awareness, my blog this week talks about the stages of migraines and common symptoms. The best way to raise awareness is to educate, so read more at bit.ly/ChronicMigraineEblog (at Woodley Park, Washington, D.C.)
