Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

Migraines = #19 on the World Health Organization’s list of top disabilities

From the standpoint of the symptoms, migraine is a very disabling disease, and much more than a headache.

Typically, a migraine attack is a chain of events lasting several days. Any phase of migraine can be disabling. It could completely disable someone, leaving them unable to do anything. Or, it could decrease their ability to do common daily tasks, or their job.

Migraine attacks often start with fatigue, food cravings, trouble thinking, speaking and concentrating, stiffness and mood changes. This may be followed by an aura with visual or other sensory disturbances, including partial blindness. This is a common phase, though in reality most migraine attacks are not preceded by visual aura. Usually this is followed by moderate to severe pain in the head and/or other parts of the body, nausea and possibly vomiting, a feverish feeling and sensitivity to light and sound.

The last phase can be the most frustrating of all. The "migraine hangover" may leave you with less pain, but an inability to think clearly, general heaviness, mood changes and depression. When you’re supposed to be "over it" and "back to work", you find yourself as disabled as ever.

No, migraine is not just a bad headache. As we’ve seen, even without considering the head pain, even with a handful of the above symptoms, migraine can be incredibly disabling.

And that’s what migraine is. And that’s another reason why we’re fighting it.
