Stop hurting!

Anyone who suffers from migraines knows the stigma that still surrounds this condition. But migraines are not a self-inflicted discomfort. They are a recognized neurological disorder. The author wants to encourage sufferers by sharing her own story, because with the right approach, this monster can be tamed.
Journalist Ute Woltron has suffered from migraines for more than 40 years and has tried every treatment available—from medication to yoga and meditation to substances that cannot be bought in pharmacies. It was only when she realized that she had to work with her migraines instead of fighting them that she found lasting relief. Thanks to science and medicine, we now know much more about this mysterious condition, which is not a »headache« but a devastating whole-body condition that can end up in the emergency room in severe cases. Migraine has shaped the author’s life, pushing her into the depths, but it has also given her funny moments and insights she wouldn’t want to miss. Her journey through a life with migraine is intended to encourage others. Because although there is no cure, there is help.
