S5E5: MS + Migraine

It was a migraine that led me to the neurologist and ultimately to my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. I was getting excruciating headaches when I was working out.

Something was off.

I went for the MRI and at 8:30 on New Years Eve 2015, my doctor called with the results. You have lesions on the brain that look like MS.

Turns out, I wasn't alone.

Studies suggest that up to 30-40% of people with MS also experience migraine.

It makes sense, both MS and migraines are both neurological conditions so, they share some common ground. And they both involve inflammatory pathways in the body.

But the greatest question is how… How do you live with not one but two unpredictable, chronic conditions that prevent you from living your daily life?

That's what I'm sharing today. In honor of Migraine Awareness Month, I'm sharing the tips and strategies that I've learned from decades of debilitating migraines. What you need to know about conventional medicine and what you need to know about diet and lifestyle.

Let's dive in!
