The history, stories and advice from this girl who has been suffering with headaches for nearly 20 years.
When you live with a chronic illness you can still take vacations but you have to plan them in a way that allows your chronic illness to come with you rather than rain on your beach day. I am on day 2 of a 14 day holiday and I have only left the house for …
