Today I sit down and have a conversation with my sister. We are talking all about communication, the difficulties and lack of communication that may occur between families and friends when someone is living with a invisible injury or illness. Having a voice to listen to, even just to relate and bring these issues to light will release the stigma behind the struggle. I hope you enjoy listening to another voice and hearing another side to what it’s like living with an invisible injury.

On today's episode I share 15 things, on what you should NOT say to someone with migraine. When living with migraine we hear it all from family, friends, random people in our DM's, people trying to sell us their products, but we promise we don't want to hear any of it! Of course most family & friends don't mean any harm, they are usually just uneducated. Listen to these 15 things, and tell me if you have had someone tell you them if you live with migraine, or if you know and family or friends who may benefit from this episode share it!
