We often downplay our symptoms to avoid being a "complainer" or to prove we are capable. However, "faking it" can actually give migraine more power, allowing it to take over your sense of self as well as your body.
Why do you "fake" it?
- To avoid judgment? To avoid unsolicited advice? Or to be seen as more than just migraine?
- What is the hardest part about being honest when you're in pain?
- What’s one phrase you use when you aren't "well enough" to give a detailed answer?
