That a migraine is just a bad headache.
Migraine is a neurological disorder. It is a chronic condition that has many symptoms, often effecting your entire body and emotional and mental wellbeing.

Just because the trigger had passed. You are not immediately well and ready to carry on

That it’s possible to ignore the pain & go on with your day.

I certainly can’t do this. How do you ignore pain that affects everything. Cognitive impairment, nausea, I literally can’t think straight about anything.

"Migraines? Oh, I get Migraines too. Just take Excedrine for Migraines. It stops it immediately."

And since my migrainesare set off by fragrances..."Oh, I'm sensitive to perfume too" while they're wearing it, living in a house with plug-ins and using Gain + Gain boosters. Yeah, right.
