Migraine break through

The news earlier in the week that scientists may  have identified the gene that causes migraine came as pure music to my ears.  For people who do not suffer from migraine, it is hard to describe the intense pain and utter  despair that this condition can cause.  The feeling at times that life is not worth living and the utter misery of a control over your life that strikes at random rendering any plans utterly futile is indescribable.  This is a truly debilitating condition, and one that has scant similarity to a ‘headache’.  If only a couple of painkillers could quell this unwelcome impostor.
