Are you familiar with the blame game? As a child, I am sure you played it often especially if you come from a large family like I did. The blame game is when something happens such as a broken glass or window and when your parents, boss, colleague or peer asks you what happened, you shout out the name of the first person you think of and say he or she did. The blame game worked as a charm for me when I was younger, I had six siblings so there was always someone to blame.
As we age and learn to take on more responsibility, it becomes more difficult to play such games as blaming others for our mistakes. We learn as adults and even as teenagers to take responsibility for our part when something goes wrong, but there are those times when the blame game can still be played case in point – migraine headaches. Migraine headaches affect more than twenty million men and women each year and are the leading cause for missed work. A migraine headache takes the ability to function away from the victim and leaves them suffering for days with many questions.
Questions And Answers
One of the most popular questions asked by migraine sufferers are what causes my intense migraine pain and how can I rid myself of this miserable existence. The cause of a migraine attack is still unclear and unable to be pinpointed therefore those that are forced to endure migraines on a regular basis must do so with only the aid of migraine treatment. Though the cause of a migraine has yet to be revealed, there are several risk factors that have been made known.
Migraine risk factors are things that place individual are in a higher bracket where the chances are larger of attaining chronic migraines.
